Currents
by Michael R. Burch
How can I write and not be true
to the rhythm that wells within?
How can the ocean not be blue,
not buck with the clapboard slap of tide,
the clockwork shock of wave on rock,

Myth
by Michael R. Burch
after the sprung rhythm of Dylan Thomas
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...

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...

Nucleotidings

“We will walk taller!” said Gupta,
sorta abrupta,
hand-in-hand with his mom,
eyeing the A-bomb.

in the aftermath of NAFTA?
Now, that was a disaster,”
cried glib Punjab.

time will spin out of control anyway,”

The Thc Ordinance
I am fairly new to this Norwick community.
If I recall correctly
we have about forty thousand households here
where the Connecticut River
conjoins the Mohegan and Iroquois Rivers;
originally deep rich virgin eco-forest
of and for harmonic rhythm and...

"Salvage"
Salvage the fixating salvation
unfurling from the wreckage
of a numb world twisted inside
treasure climbs swimming
the ladder from the deep of all things
reaching upwards travelling in a new time
of melting morpheme moments overlapping
dissolved...

The day was going off, and the brown air
To the terrestrial animals gave rest
For their labors; and only me was there
Just ready to withstand the war at best
Both of the journey and of the torment,
Which...

The Mask of Tourmaline
Twice the night had fallen upon a sleepless slumber,
Yet again awoken by winter when the third was three in number.
I sense that a silence doth sneak ‘tween cracks of weathered wood,
Conniving with that which shadows...

The Mask of Alabaster
Once the night had fallen upon a sleepless slumber,
Whence the winter woke me when the third was three in number.
I sense that a wince doth lurk and wear which wicked gaze,
Of conniving shadows cast between...

Original Mask of Alabaster
A wince doth lurk wearing which wicked gaze,
Of conniving cast shadows ‘tween my windowpanes.
Gazing through the window’s diaphanous gelid glass,
I see a flushing fluorescent misty haze of frothy brass.
It floats aloft the frost of...

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 8
Contemplating on a previous conversation with Job and his wife,
I drew a breath of relief, remembering my humbling purpose
Sin was imminent on my brow, though I was beyond its impetuosity
Suffering dines with long-lived perspective, sharpening...

Incomplete Metamorphosis of Distilled Adolescent
Incomplete metamorphosis of distilled adolescent...
therefore he characterizes himself as an anomaly...any idea why?
Mortified, petrified, stultified, et cetera sheltered,
and mortally wounded prepubescent,
I consider myself
analogously buttressed, cocooned,
garrisoned (for bing keeler),
hardened, insulated,
where cell baited jumping frog

Vapor Barrier Mastic
Oxygen is depleting from what remains within the confines of which, a means to an end, lie guarded. Watch as hope disappears within the aftermath of this wreckage, which was constructed-meticulously seeking absolute perfection…; only...

South Africa 2019
A country of dreams has burst its rainbow at all ragged seams
In a state of affairs illusion of fusion and widespread delusion
The constitution hallucinates as night settles scores of deceit
Bereavement takes its toll in anger...

Better Daya
I know you’re happy,
Guess I’m stuck bein’ me,
Guess I stay missin’ out on chances that I couldn’t see.
But in the meantime,
Keep your head,
And know I’m doin’ just fine.
You know, maybe I’ll get lucky and catch...

The Bird Feeder
Sometimes,
not often enough,
I stop my morning routine
to watch the feeding drama breathe feathered flurries in and out,
on,
and under,
my side-yard bird feeder
Outside my kitchen windows
over this morning's sudsy sink,
looking across a twinkling white field
of early...

I’ve dreamt often that she crept deep
Into my cellular structure,
Some time in the nightfall of my being
And planted deeply into my mitochondrion,
A magical silence pill,
Drowning the kittens of...

Poland II
A blitzkrieg wipes your innocence away
and only heaven’s hand can help you now.
Your counterparts lie trepid to the fray,
for they can sense the wolfen on the prowl.
Oh dear Poland, there’ll be no recompense
as death, unbridled,...
