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—

Adieu - Part 2
The tears flowed and I still smiled,
My body and spirit and mind,
Were still in that state of residual bliss,
Soaking in your sweet smile,
And savoring the moonlit skin before me,
But my soul was being torn asunder,
And...

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...

Problems of Success
Old misunderstandings of how Earth
and Her species
evolve,
regeneratively and degeneratively change,
sometimes in revolutionary expansive/implosive quick and great transitions,
but more traditionally in slow-grow emergent spacetime development,
are often summarized in secular capitalism's
Might Makes Fertile Right.
While this does capture...

Fabrics Finding Fabrications

A New Mythology
There is a new mythology emerging,
Howling from the hind end of the pack,
Scorching the composted leavings
Of established orthodoxy as a pillar of flame
Showing the way for true rock & rollers.
It’s...

Come and Go
Her back never faces the door
“I’ll only need you on certain days”
she says
(absently)
“I’ll have to write them down
my memory doesn’t work so well
especially when I am caught up”
she’s thinking
(a lovely stare)
“Who is that in the...

and all her classmates,

And What To Choose
Coffee or tea?
Fragmented frogs frolicking fruitlessly freeing flavoursome fairy freckles,
But what of the speckled hound in the bin?
Well he growled,

Spring Break V - Russians On Miami Beach
I.
The Fish Crow is an outcast amongst the seagulls
Standing on the hot Miami sand
At the end
Of our rose-colored beach towel
Nodding and blabbing half-heartedly
Nuh-uh nuh-uh
To the lack of crumbs
From us
The stingy blue collar visitors
From freezing old...
