Myth, After Dylan ThomasMyth, after Dylan Thomas
by Michael R. Burch
Here the recalcitrant wind
sighs with grievance and remorse
over fields of wayward gorse
and thistle-throttled lanes.
And she is the myth of the scythed wheat
hewn and sighing, complete,
waiting, lain in a low...

The Depths
"The Depths"
From the depths
silence.
Where
are the voices
of other
women?
In that other place,
the monsters violate,
they take and take
bloody all, what they want
the dreams of women
are torched, murdered,
next to them,
the sweet dreams of lives...

My Heart Will Go On - POTDPOTD 30th August 2018
The gently swaying branches of the old oak should elicit calmness
And yet a sense of foreboding permeates the midnight air
Wild imaginings? Or did shadows flit across the leaf strewn path?
No...

The Warsaw UprisingWhat is freedom?
The brief period of anarchy between the last tyranny and the next?
Are we free if we cannot see the cage?
Or feel the chains?
What if our masters lengthen our leashes?
Only to tighten their hold...

An eager poet overcome by words.

When the silence in the room is as thick as our nostalgia
Wanting to hold each other but...

Twilight HoursIn the twilight hours I lie
On my back face-up closed-eyes facing the sky
I am clarity
Not fully awake or asleep
Free of prejudiced mind and sanity
And my mind wanders
Snippets of thoughts and assessments
Judgements and decisions...

Dawn Forever RisingDawn Forever Rising
It starts
Street lights fade
their tiny soft-winged tenants flee
checkerboard facades change
last night's illumined squares now dark
become but yesterday's portals
some polished
some weather streaked
all reaching to reflect first breath
Steam ascends from the city's vacuum
gratings rattle with...

Finding PresenceFinding Presence
Night sky beckoning dawn
Gentle sensations
Early morning walks
Empty avenues
Central Park breezes
Village cobblestone streets
Wet with glistening reflections
Accompany the seeker’s every move
Citified whispers
Discordant choruses
The street cleaner
The sliding steel-front security doors
Excited canines straining leashes
Open casements echoing...

People WatchingI saw people walking through the streets,
As cars lazily rolled down the one lane road.
Pairs holding hands, mothers and sons,
Suited men retiring after a hard day's work.
The awkward side-steps avoiding strollers,
Exchanging waves, exchanging glances.
And gentle...

with my inner shock collar
a present from my fairy godmother
who had trimmed the hedge

ready to protect the perimeter
and as sure as incisors segue to molars
