Vacuum
Vacuum
by Michael R. Burch
Over hushed quadrants
forever landlocked in snow,
time’s senseless winds blow...

that once intrigued us so.
Come then, let us...

"beware, beware"
barefoot softly
the Supernaturalist
transfigures instead
from under shine
she bares...

Testosterone levels high
Feral instincts prevail
In the game of one-upmanship
Need to win...
