by Michael R. Burch

and thistle-throttled lanes.
And she is the myth of the scythed wheat
hewn and sighing, complete,
waiting, lain in a low...

Sam the Dog and Pearl the CatSam the dog and Pearl the cat

They talk about their little quirks
And none of them...

Also manipulator;
Even a traitor.
Between is schism;
Nationalist populism;
Read in catechism.

As it landed,

By it’s crew now disbanded,
The horrors of war,
