Kin
by Michael R. Burch
for Richard Moore
1.
Shrill gulls,
how like my thoughts
you, struggling, rise
to distant bliss?
the weightless blue of skies
that are not blue
in any atmosphere,
but closest here...
2.
You seek an air
so clear,
so rarified
the effort leaves...

The State of the Art
The State of the Art (I)
by Michael R. Burch
Has rhyme lost all its reason
and rhythm, renascence?
Are sonnets out of season
and poems but poor pretense?
Are poets lacking fire,
their words too trite and forced?
What happened to desire?
Has...

Distances
by Michael R. Burch
There is a small cleanness about her,
as though she has always just been washed,
and there is a dull obedience to convention
in her accommodating slenderness
as she feints at her salad.

Pale Though Her Eyes: Vampire Poem
Vampire Poetry
Pale Though Her Eyes
by Michael R. Burch
Pale though her eyes,
her lips are scarlet
from drinking of blood,
this child, this harlot
born of the night
and her heart, of darkness,
evil incarnate

Vampires Are Such Fragile Creatures
Vampires
by Michael R. Burch
Vampires are such fragile creatures;
we fear the dark, but the light destroys them...
sunlight, or a stake, or a cross—such common things.
Still, late at night, when the bat-like vampire sings,
we heed his voice.
Centuries...

The Wonder Boys

The stars were always there, too-bright cliches:
scintillant truths the jaded world outgrew

Strange Justice Dreams
It is a strange dream
in which an animal rights advocate
is swamped with questions
from Chief Justice Roberts.
A vicious dog,
trained to attack humans
with politically incorrect audacity
to trespass against his white supremacist Master,
has been imprisoned
and sentenced to...

Picture Album Stories of My Mom

But using pictures to tell stories of past and present,
Yours remind me of days not so recent,
And ones of grateful recline
To golden years so sublime.

the largest stuffed animals hang tilt-a-whirl over the pool tables

Poems About Pool Sharks
POEMS ABOUT POOL SHARKS
Shark
by Michael R. Burch
They are all unknowable,
these rough pale men—
haunting dim pool rooms like shadows,
propped up on bar stools like scarecrows,
nodding and sagging in the fraying light...
I am not of them,
as I...

Talent
by Michael R. Burch
for Kevin Nicholas Roberts
I liked the first passage
of her poem: where it led
(though not nearly enough
to retract what I said.)

flutters, scarcely half read.
It will keep.
Before sleep,

Safe Harbor
Safe Harbor
by Michael R. Burch
for Kevin N. Roberts
The sea at night seems
an alembic of dreams—
the moans of the gulls,
the foghorns’ bawlings.
A century late
to be melancholy,
I watch the last shrimp boat as it steams
to safe harbor...
