as well as other politesse
drummed into her second born
fobbing blandishments as incentive
tumbled off fingers of prodigal son
tripped wordsmith to splutter forth
forthwith the following lines.
Back in the day

Distances
by Michael R. Burch
Moonbeams on water?
the reflected light
of a halcyon star
now drowning in night...
So your memories are.
Footprints on beaches
now flooding with water;
the small, broken ribcage
of some primitive slaughter...
So near, yet so far.
A Surfeit of...

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

Myth, After Dylan Thomas
Myth, after Dylan Thomas
by Michael R. Burch
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
hewn and sighing, complete,
waiting, lain in a low...

One Day
One day not so long ago
I walked
Never alone
For the world
Is always my home
It was a late
Spring snow
Yet I felt
Invisible red roses
Offering sweetest perfume
To my nose and soul
There’s such warmth
In snow-filled winter
No bitterness
No...

That rustic, old log castle
Stands facing the lake.

In a changing world, he felt
He could not participate in.
And so chose to live like...
