but with this blade I angrily carve a new

for a reflection of our relationship
and an outlet...

On March the third of two-thousand and eighteen,
For the caretaker at an historic Adirondack Inn,
Had lacked company, and therefore, dopamine.

 ‘Twas Sunday when all the guests had fled,

Poems About Flowers
Lady’s Favor

May

fling
her riotous petals

ignoring the lethal
nettles
and may
May
cry gleeful-
ly Hooray!
as the abundance

till a sudden June
swoon
leave us out of tune,
torn,

inconsolably bereft,
rudely shorn
of every device but her thorn.

Poems About Icarus
Southern Icarus
by Michael R. Burch

Windborne, lover of heights,
unspooled from the truck’s wildly lurching embrace,
you climb, skittish kite...

What do you know of the world’s despair,
gliding in vast solitariness there,
so that all that remains is to
fall?

Roses and Lilacs
Winter
by Michael R. Burch

The rose of love's bright promise
lies torn by her own thorn;
her scent was sweet
but at her feet
the pallid aphids mourn.

The lilac of devotion
has felt the winter hoar
and shed her dress;
companionless,
she shivers—nude, forlorn.

Telling them to remain calm
The angels are singing out loud
They want to break the treacherous cloud

The meter I had sought to find, perplexed,
was ripped from books of "verse" that read like prose.

I melt into the plural sky
its rippling tableaus of tomorrow
underneath open light waves 
see-saws the labyrinth
like Delphi tendrils crossing channels 
all the changing faces played
automatic, embedded in misty consort 
with Hyde-Lees and Yeats 
love-crushed oracles

One Day
One day not so long ago 
I walked
Never alone
For the world 
Is always my home

It was a late
Spring snow
Yet I felt
Invisible red roses
Offering sweetest perfume
To my nose and soul

There’s such warmth 
In snow-filled winter
No bitterness
