Haiku
should never rhyme:
it’s a crime!
-Michael R. Burch
The herons stand,
sentry-like, at attention ...
rigid observers of some unknown command.
-Michael R. Burch
Late

all
the golden leaves turn black underfoot:

Whats Behind the CurtainI used to dream of a dark hall. Dim. Empty with thick cheap navy curtains.
The breeze. It felt hot and old. It shivered in the curtains that lined the walls on both sides.

Visit To AntietamAlone I arrive, walking from Frederick
over the gaps, across gentle hills
out onto a knoll
overlooking this burnished landscape.
Before me I see countless writhing rows
of indiscernible shapes gathered
in terrible rituals mid fire and smoke
darkening the sun.
From distant...

Cooperative FeministasCooperative Feministas
are not quite so much Competitive Manifestos.
In David Holmgren's introduction to Permacultural Therapeutic Design,
he contrasts "Industrial Culture" with "Sustainable Culture"
kind of like comparing masculine LeftBrain culture
with feminist RightBrain enculturation, nurturance, resonance
over the longer-term scenaria,
rather...

Rainer Maria Rilke Translation: the PantherThe Panther

loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

Same Ol' Song and DanceAs I look back across more musical times
of rhythmic reflections,
ceremonies and commemorations
of each dawn and dusk eremitic liturgy,
if that is not an oxymoron
of sound and sight,
song and dance,
tragically sad, yet also bilaterally bound with happier...

The Climatic CollaboratoryI don't recall whose inspired idea it wasn't
to invite the math professor
into our Therapeutic Collaborative Laboratory.
I do recall when I first heard her speak
of cooperative polynomial qualities
for improving ego/eco-therapeutic communications.
She was, of course,
in the back...

RetributionIn sandy Egypt lived three men
In ancient days when pharaohs reigned
The kingdom of the pyramids,
Osiris and that Isis’ den,
Whom everyone worships and heeds,
Or at least doing so they feigned,
And those gods too blessed them and...

Anticipation of RealitySo cramped ...
Strain to move,
Flex and budge in tiny increments ...
That's the limit.
Constantly testing, trying,
Pushing, pressing ...
Constrict, exert, constrict, struggle,
Spin slowly, push ...
That's it. That's all.
Nothing more.
But it helps ... relief,
A body sigh ...
But only...

Monsters In My Head
"Monsters in My Head"
the small gods
inside of us
worry too much
they speak in tongues
that never know the
depth of what is real or not
for tongues
they never think
they just have a taste for blood

Just a Tree - a RequiemSomeone who knows
Said You were an old ancient Tree,
But at the time, it didn’t really matter,
Or seem important to me.

Sacred RegenerationIn Regenerative Design,
dialectical cooperative contrasts
need not also mean
suspiciously diabolical
competitive win/lose opposition
to our own internal RightWing
self-righteously
kinda venomously professional
commodified LeftBrain dominant encultured
prejudiced inside privileged
ego-supremacist voices.
In Regenerative Communication,
sometimes questions
are expressed as peace-intended
hypothetical Truth Statements,
awaiting sacred polycultural transubstantiation
