tripped wordsmith to splutter forth
forthwith the following lines.

the annual wake,
the face in the...

Erin
by Michael R. Burch

the others to avoid it. For nowhere
is evidence of...

A wave implodes,

that nothing returns
as it was before...

for raw-edged nouns, barbed verbs, vowels’ lush bouquet;
each syllable his pen excretes?dense soil,

that our flesh
does not despair
of love
