sentry-like, at attention ...
rigid observers of some unknown command.

Snapshots
Snapshots
by Michael R. Burch
Here I scrawl extravagant rainbows.
And there you go, skipping your way to school.
And here we are, drifting apart
like untethered balloons.
Here I am, creating "art,"
chanting in shadows,
pale as the crinoline moon,
ignoring your face.
There...

Pale Though Her Eyes

Pale though her eyes,
her lips are scarlet
from drinking of blood,
this child, this harlot

evil incarnate
to dance so reckless,
dreaming of...

Vampires Are Such Fragile Creatures
Vampires
by Michael R. Burch

we fear the dark, but the light destroys them...
sunlight, or a stake, or a cross—such common things.
Still, late at night, when the bat-like vampire sings,
we heed his voice.
Centuries...

80s 2 Dancing In Time With God
Hey There
Giving so much
I can't see you
There
with your husband4
That should be me
We tested the waters and the great sea
found a sailor.
Nearby I fixed the dog: he'll never love again
Lusting beast, he'll never love again.

Where Is the Lover
“Where is the Lover?”
Where is your Lover?
He is in your smile
where he kissed you
when you were fast asleep
bodies pressed into
burning heat
the fruits of passion
tasted hours ago
before you walked out
the door onto

Early Poems XXI
These are my early poems, or juvenilia.
Stars
by Michael R. Burch, age 22
Though night has come,
I'm not alone,
for stars appear
—fierce, faint and far—
to dance until they disappear.
They reappear
as clouds roll by
in stormy billows
past bent willows;
sometimes they...

‘Go dance my love, grant me the golden trophy’

Made it her playfield, a heroin
They were...

Edged in snow drops
They follow her too

Idyll (Idyl)
Flying On a Mellow Wind
A south wind carries magnolia petals
and butterfly wings, wafting through thoughts at dawn.
I share sweet expectations, peace
in mellow morning dew, holding fast to the hush like a treasure
of rediscovery in bright monarchs...

Our lives produce such struggles
