Radiance, For Dylan Thomas
Radiance
by Michael R. Burch
for Dylan Thomas
The poet delves earth’s detritus—hard toil—
for raw-edged nouns, barbed verbs, vowels’ lush bouquet;
each syllable his pen excretes—dense soil,

The poet sees the sea but feels its meaning—

Prescribing Rebirth To Dt2
DT2 came to me, unwillingly and clandestinely,

Myth, After Dylan Thomas
Myth, after Dylan Thomas

Here the recalcitrant wind
sighs with grievance and remorse
over fields of wayward gorse
and thistle-throttled lanes.
And she is the myth of the scythed wheat

Magnanimously growing out of context
Thus ticking with apocalyptic dimensions ...
