Kensington spreads its legs—
lets the city crawl in,
dripping Xylazine / fentanyl / tranq,
open sore veins
moaning dirty dirges.

Bristlecone pines ever sway slowly,
while pockets of air blush...

Unlikely Mike, for Michael Jackson
Unlikely Mike
by Michael R. Burch
I married someone else’s fantasy;
she admired me despite my mutilations.

And in the dark I danced—slight,...

She will never tell a soul that she will die. She tells everyone, even the people closest to her, that what they found will be curable, at least mostly. Her brother, her friends, her boyfriend,...

American Dread
re-write of American Pie:

The presidency meant so much.

They wouldn't choose that pompous goat,
And now I'm just astounded that they...

We Will Have Our Redemption
Police sirens are blaring
Outside my tuckered apartment walls.
The red and blue lights consume my room,
Provoking me – threatening me.
The sound – deafening.
It is the night, the best time to hide,
Under the cloak of the...
