Discrimination
by Michael R. Burch
The meter I had sought to find, perplexed,
was ripped from books of "verse" that read like prose.
I found it in sheet music, in long rows
of hologramic CDs, in sad wrecks

Ghosts of the Sun Dance
1. The Path
A quest dating back through our history
Surpassing the flesh, a spiritual path

It echoes through me, this deep ambition

Designer Ways and Means
Permacultural Designers
are taught to multiply the number
and networking depth
of relationships
between species

and systems
and cooperative economic networks,
rather than the simpler adding functions
of traditional agriculture;
Where,
if you plant eight crops,
you get eight maybe interdependent functional relationships,

Nudging Recreation Along
What are fair and effective nudges
for too much freedom of wounding weaponed speech?
Maybe equal freedom to listen nutritionally
and not speak toxically?
What's a fair response
to competitive over-investment in fear-mongering--
Threats to hold your breath 'til everyone sees...

Integrity Wars
Integrity warriors
are not allowed to raise our sacred voices
even against defiant children,
and defeated adolescents,
and immature monoculturish adults
Much less could we therapeutically self-justify
shouting out against WiseElder

remembering DNA's healthiest cooperative birthing
and thrival
matriarchal/patriarchal

Dark is the Night
Dark is the night,
But, it is there that I found the quiet,
Still, cool and gentle,
Feeling so sentimental,
Inviting me to breathe in…
The music of hope and peace,
The whisper of grace that agrees…
This night is a journey...

Poetry knows no age, as thee Marcia

'Twas pain that taught my heart to bleed
for sorrows of another...

Angel Wings
A halo glow, faint, it’s shadow,
hangs on gossamer web of angel wings.
Voices flutter through naked space.
They float on clouds of love
high, high above the universe.
Singing praise and adoration
of man in his purest form.
The portal...

Healthing Voices
Personal identity,
like politically empowered/disempowered identity,
evolves within EgoSpirited voices
Exchanging feelings
with EcoSoul's outside co-relational serenity,
anima mundi
uncovering ZeroZone bilateral Janus-faces,
Non-verbal language
noticing co-relational
health and pathology
qualities sensed,
felt,
originally tasted
And
Verbal iconically quantitative patriarchal voices
for either Ego, or Eco
survivalist thinking
how to further...

My Hope Rope
The final stretch of outlasting my turmoil, is decreasing.
Inside, the waves are no longer climbing, they’re waning.
Before the last storm, comes the battle of the ocean’s war,
Which took place, beginning on the ocean’s floor.

For every sacrifice, there will be
a reward awaiting; a crown for a beauty,
a trophy for an athlete

and a standing ovation
for all who firmly believe in peace and unification.

The day you left, years back,
On your eternal journey
Leaving us all behind.
