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...

Water's WeaknessThere is nothing weaker than water
But none is superior to it in overcoming the hard,
For which there is no substitute.

And uniting...

Pursuit of Infinite Knowledge and Understanding(In a Lush Garden Somewhere Out There)

Once firm with reason, now elusive truths are sought.

One DayOne 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...

Misguided MeditationsI am sorry
about my judgmental,
sadly disdainful,

includes victimized by homophobia
and healing through community mediation.

silence.

are torched, murdered,
next to them,
the sweet dreams of lives...
