Father Time's Interview
Hi.
We don't have a lot of time,
or, well, I guess you do,
but I don't,
so let's plunge right into the first big question:
Which came first, form or function?
False dichotomy. No such thing as a totally dysfunctional...

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—
the...

Transparent Exodus
Imagine we live in an eco-normative story
of competing for wealth-commodities,
cash piled in quantifiable currencies,
collectively blinded to our Win-Win
natural economic,
ecological,
psychological,
biological health and well-being
nurturing value roots.
One day, our PolyCultural Received View
unveils a co-operatively synergetic evolution

Keeping America Safe
A prayer for God to bless Americans,
whether northern or southern,
is also a reminder of traditional political mindfulness,
basic awareness of our economic investments
in global health and security.
No one "keeps" these northern confederations

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...

Dream 1: 4 Weeks In Positano
"Dream 1: 4 Weeks in Positano"
Kisses long linger warm lips tasted intense
so sweet like cured Valencia Oranges
lips liquored triple sec not dry drunk on love
softly grazed, then held long
slow, deep, warm and wet
The story is...

Ecology of Sacred Earth
Reading Csikszentmihalyi again,

if Mihaly, his first name,
need not also bring up the rear of his family name,
which has nothing to do with anything that follows,
I am sure you are already...

Transgenerate Roots
My grandparents' grandparents,
all sixteen,
digging roots through cultural meristems,
young adults,
adolescents during Time's 1880's,
post Civil War birth of Sir James Crow monoculture.
What would we name this self-hatred,
this lack of compassion and gratitude for help
for human nature's lavish...

Evaluating Value
In what ways have nutritional
and health
and financial
and well-being values increased
over past time,
whether a season,
or a year,
or a decade,
or a lifetime,
or a millennium,
and in what ways have toxic dissonant disvalues
and decaying trends ebbed and...

Eye Contact
What is love?
A sea of nonexistence
both tranquil and calamitous
where the mind
does not dare enter.
(Rumi, M. Mafi, "Day By Day", p. 120, 2014, Hampton Roads)
What is timeless synergy?
Our sea of coexistence
both confluent and dissonant
where blind consciousness
seldom...

Stories About Power and Truth
If we follow the BigBang Energy Story
told by still evolving scientists,
this is an emergent story of how stardust
becomes progenitor of sunlight,
and how our Sun becomes the Creator
of Earth's healthy fertile soil.
If we follow earliest shamans

Big Washoe, 2010 Plus Six, Plus Seven
———
2016,
Sheep.
Magpie.
Mule deer.
Mustang, colt, mustang...upon the ridge.
Eagle's nest, bald.
Oreo cows, in far field.
Running baby cows.
Sheep.
Felled branch...100 mph winds.
Controlled burn, left quiet;
but not, as it turned out,
without embers enough
to catch to flames
and race up the Sierra,
down the...

Of the Quandaries and Mystics In Divine Shamanism
The Shamans gather to discuss the oblivious reason
Dispel cruelty as fate opens for our unorthodox legion

Destroy notions preconceived, let the celebration begin
The mind is confused...

Antonin Artaud Theater of Cruelty Or Joie De Vivre Part 2

Before he was exhausted
And his soul was very sick
He was suicidal that night
But when he woke up
From his nightmarish dream
His soul was not hurting
Anymore and felt clean
He came back...

Zorba the Greek
Zorba was a friend of mine
momentum of lunacy shine
insane shrieking lunacy
to venture to an exotic island.
Let's be free; snip the strap.
sardonic heart phratry man
Shamans are ritzy ladies!
at the maximum load level
a stampede of race cars

Awakening
In ancient looms of my homeland,
Fairies once shuttled across threads of rainbows
Weaving folklores of gods and goddesses.
Our tapestry needed no haberdashery of
Brabubahanas and Chitrngadas or a vijay panchali,
For no tantric-needle knitted our folktales.
I want to...
