Grand Mother Eartha's Dream
My husband and I always enjoy visiting
GrandMother Eartha

Let Me Give Her Diamonds
by Michael R. Burch
Let me give her diamonds
for my heart's
sharp edges.
Let me give her roses
for my soul's
thorn.
Let me give her solace
for my words
of treason.
Let the flowering of love
outlast a winter
season.

Exit Strategy
To prepare for final cosmic breath
exhaled
echoing first breath
inhaling
waiting to exhale
silent sacred pause
for Earth's final soliloquy
Terminating all humane
and inhumane futures,
healthy
and disturbing relationships,
elegantly excruciating ecstasy
Leaving hell
without receiving Heaven
Surrendering commitments
to health
and lack thereof
Future obligations
and past assets
Resigning...

Healing Projects
I had two big projects
from 1970 to 1975,
The first,
to earn a usually white Bachelor dual-major degree
(which sounds at least sexist
as a usually black, brown, red, yellow Mistress nondegree)
of deep learning about yin/yang,
right/left,
east/west interconnections
cultural communions
between persuasive...

divinely self-righteous

In the blackness of night, stars of wonder, so gloriously bright;

A beautiful universe whose vastness is...

On Conserving Responsible Governance
Note to Grover Norquist

Jesus’s love matters when the garden of eden turns to grey,

Before His porch they gather as the...

Dramatic Monologue
Kajal Ahmad Translations Kurdish
Mirror
by Kajal Ahmad, a Kurdish poet
loose translation by Michael R. Burch
My era's obscuring mirror
shattered
because it magnified the small

Dictators and monsters filled its contours.
Now when I breathe
its jagged shards pierce my...

Spiritual Guides
Spiritual guides,
of all persuasions,
all religions,
all anti-religions,
with robust economic forecasting contracts,
and those without political capital,
Encourage their deep listeners
to avoid attachment
to positive thoughts
and feelings
and dissociation
divestment from negatively felt thoughts.
And yet connection,
synchronization,
interdependence,
organic unity,
resilient relationship,
resonance,
harmonic tone,
bullish and mountainous...

Driving Silence
My car-ride silence
is not judging you;
maybe me,
but certainly
and more generously
unconditionally not angry
or shaming
or blaming
you for unpardonable sins
against sainted me.
With you in a powerless passenger seat
and me in a self-punishing driver's
need to alone defeat
our unshared lonely...

Conversion Therapies
I could not support a ban on Conversion Therapy

Effective Feedback
Who would want a thermostat
unable to effectively regulate talking to itself?
We all long for recreative environmental response systems
of mutual listening wonder,
sacredly transcending mere domination of will-power

Subliminal Perception
Was it some kind of a subliminal perception?
Confusing my interpretations of a misconception.
Was it you that pulled an affectionate deception?
Forcing me into a fake deflection.
A maneuver of the circumstance selections.
