Vacuum
Vacuum
by Michael R. Burch
Over hushed quadrants
forever landlocked in snow,
time’s senseless winds blow...
leaving odd relics of lives half-revealed,
if still mostly concealed...
such are the things we are unable to know
that once intrigued us so.

Regret

Regret,
a bitter
ache to bear...
once starlight
languished
in your hair...
a shining there
as brief
as rare.
Regret,
a pain
I chose to bear...
unleash
the torrent
of your hair...

You Never Listened
You Never Listened
by Michael R. Burch
You never listened,
though each night the rain
wove its patterns again

in her eyes palely fetching...

There is a small cleanness about her,
as though she has always just been washed,
and there is a dull obedience to convention
