Come Down
by Michael R. Burch

for a meteor shower
to show you the time

What Good Are Our Tears
What Good Are Our Tears?

The Plural Sky and the Temptation of Its Mirrored Eyes
I melt into the plural sky
its rippling tableaus of tomorrow
underneath open light waves
see-saws the labyrinth
like Delphi tendrils crossing channels
all the changing faces played
automatic, embedded in misty consort
with Hyde-Lees and Yeats
love-crushed oracles
ghostwriting...

Journey Companions: the Friend Sonnets Part Ii

Near somber guards, units of children heap
dead leaves, naive to any else fallen.

Where the Vision Visits
Kentucky's late summer sunshine
sunk deep into their skin
as the boy rode on the back
of his Grandfather's coppered horse,
the tobacco harvest would begin soon,
aromas of sweet leaf darkness
were wafting in the field heat,
to the big barn...

The Jewel Of Jesus -
Who's that girl by the ancient tree...
She's the daughter of a butcher, quiet and pouty...

Solitude serves her like the aroma of...

Husband Feebly Tried To Smite Figuratively
Preface preceding promiscuous philandering peccadillos
undermining energy and time not spent with missus
and mother of our precious progeny,
whereby, yours truly sought, (somewhat assertively, modestly,

The Evil Eye
The darkness, now descending, floods the city as it dies
while shadows lurk in legions 'neath the looming Evil Eye.

denouncing loathed dissenters to the keepers in the sky....

Brave Heart
"Brave Heart"
O what Leonine love
could sway
iron clad heart

reflection

genuine to see
evermore clearly
the truth of light

I See What You Did There
Though all are blessed with eyes to see,
Eyes never lay sight upon the seer;
No retina perceives the seedling

Of identity: portraits framed by
Ourselves, Us, and Others
- Whose eyes perceived whole
But...
