Lozenge
by Michael R. Burch

like a lozenge of sugar.
When I held you in...

Fly’s Eyes
by Michael R. Burch
Inhibited, dark agile fly along
paint-peeling sills, up to the bright glass drawn
by radiance compounded thousandfold,—
I do not see the same as you, but hold
antenna to the brilliant...

In ancient Persia
Her sands
drift through your divination hands
Through Her dark mirrors,dethroned now
Xerxes,you stand before Her naked
Clairsentient seeps Her ancient wisdom
Her opium gift to you
Elusive, Her...

The Gallery, Gala, Larry, Part 2
Students their little burning harmonies | you compos’d it
One single gallery | public arras blasé debate re-placed
Sheets just- | cool on clothesline whiskered with wear.
Variousness was it| trusted its core | bayou, brilliant books

Under the cemetery of falling stars, beneath veils of eternity
Under the cemetery of falling stars, beneath veils of eternity,
The end of any affair is death. She is my sanctuary,
An evanescent eye, slipping through the magical veil,
Far from the tribe of my soul, my breath

...."the Final Toast."
"What does light have to do with darkness!?...."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Like mixing champagne miscreants
Within a simile laced frosted glass
Of crystalline stones mingling these
Crowned guises....
Fatidities of peremptory phantasms
Oracular silhouettes of the predisposed?!
Rising in unison unto a collective toast
Toward deceptives...

Halloween Night
I see heaven's natural satellite of the earth,
the twilit lunar reflection after the sun sets-
The Halloween moon gently bows down,
feeling all the children's tiny footsteps.
I see the ghosts walking among the streets,
shades of crimson blood...

The Dreams of Anemone
The forested , odorous moonlight
is bedecked with an unparalleled dream.
It shields the colored, mazy
track from the fettered,
chained grass.

Longing
Longing
by Michael R. Burch
We stare out at the cold gray sea,
overcome
with such sudden and intense longing . . .
our eyes meet,
inviolate,
and we are not of this earth,
this strange, inert mass.
Before we crept
out of...

So I Found It! 2.

In a poem by Rumi,
In a 24 hr laundry mat,
in a silent cry for innocence,
In a fractured skull reality,
in the bottom of a pit deeper than self,
I found it in the...

Coterie Part Two
The illicit flames of cajole will wane like an impetuous act of wind.
Annul with impervious aplomb
Waxing perspicacious avenues
Clearing the nebulous
The schism extricate judicious clarity
Vicarious envoy
Omnious stance
Intrinsic string of which I now belong accrues each dawn
Tenable...

Skin
skin
a lonesome word set above all others
provoking one to strain beyond the epithet
curious to discover the oracular journey
of a single utterance…
skin

with colors blanded by prejudice,
heralding the decay of humanity

Plastic Siblings
Genial to avoid confrontation
Baseborn kind, complaisant character
A spurious recital, a cheap imitation
Apocryphal mind, and comical creations
Counterfeited Christ
An unholy effusion
Sons of Belial
Clutch arcane knowledge
Esoteric information
Delve into oracular verse.
Deadened faith
Recondite belief denuded denials
Portentous and abstruse
Divested of the...

T He Plague
The lips are baked, cracked
Disfigured
The eyes gaunt and
Hollow
Face skeletal in the monsoon,
Wrinkled-
The plague has come.
The Oracular Verb calling,
Humans lurking phantoms,
The moon asleep in the frost:
The plague! The plague!
The hunters are armed
Toe to teeth
Spears and matchets...
