Radiance, For Dylan ThomasRadiance
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,
dark images impacted, rooted clay.
The poet sees the sea but feels its meaning—
the...

Emotional attached, formed mentalities that are equally paired with an immaculate physical connection.
Collected bi-gender, shared love—
She’s...

Blinks Through Bloodshot WalksWhen at five-thirty

London's diurnally estranged couple -
The Arch and Gate.
