Red and White folds in deluge, licking the
framed portrait of our Thomas Jefferson,

Symposium

Space-viewed landscapes of rust and paint
Showing mirrored continents imagined;
Worlds within worlds at every turn,
Outlines of Octopi on Oil slicked streets;
Every post and pole or stone a step:
Sat on,...

It begins with a chase, where I jump swerve and run
Always two steps ahead of my frustrated mum
I duck under the table and knock over chairs
rush down the hallway and dash up the stairs
When finally...

LIGHT VERSE AND NONSENSE VERSE III
The Humpback
by Michael R. Burch
The humpback is a gullet
equipped with snarky fins.
It has a winning smile:
and when it SMILES, it wins
as miles and miles of herring
excite its fearsome grins.
So beware,...

Theater of Utter Charm Part 20

and it's not that big a deal
to be an Oracle either

to lessen disruption is the scam

Over the Edge, Four Flights Up
`
I opened the rusted iron gateway
bound in chain and wire, to find a landing
caked in muddied footprints, scattered about like roaches
Magpie shadows course the rain soaked streets
and puddle patterns reflect temptation as light flickers
from second...

We Fall in Love and They Have No Mercy

Canaknas
Selected by the swift sound of hand to shoulder blade,
The bells upon their ankles sounded like seven trumpets

A Chinese Girl I Took To a Nunnery
A Chinese girl I took to a nunnery

I led her
Her silent leg-irons cutting into my shins
That day when the air stood still
Dry as the day perhaps on the hill
when he spoke standing still
Drier still my...

Her book of spells flipped open...

Enclosed Rhyme
The sunlight through piss and pain
Some places you don’t write about. You survive them.
Frost on the telly, piss on the stairs,
Smells like bleach, burnt foil, and prayers.
Boiler’s gone. Sockets dead.
Someone’s screaming. Someone bled.
Tinfoil wings fill every bin,
Ashtrays stacked with yesterday’s...

Kiss of Death
Another girl,
Just livin' her life.
Another soul,
Trying to survive.
A happy place,
She's tryin' to find,
But nothin's good,
When she shuts her eyes.
Another boy,
That no one sees.
Except the bullies,
Hiding down the street.
Two bloody shins,
And two broken knees,
The kid's...

Tormens Humanum

The Seals of Ragnarok, Part Ii
Odin looked confused, and Thor did too,
But none of us bothered to wait
Ten thousands years of warrior souls,
Charged the dark foe right out of the gate.

And the old 7th...

Thrashing In the Dark
A glorious sunset in an opening
Never before seen. Miles from nowhere.
Dimming iridescent sunset.
The forest shines light to the East
Eyes can't adjust to the shadows of the West.
The light of the day led to this...

Wild Bees
I resign myself to a half sleep, to the evening news, and a tepid cup of tea
to old habits, engrained, and a familiar old routine
As the news, tonight, unfolds,
it is there again, to chill the...

As I wander through my mind, back to years now long gone by.
