Come Down
by Michael R. Burch

and I cannot wait
for a meteor shower
to show you the time
must be...

What Good Are Our Tears
What Good Are Our Tears?
by Michael R. Burch
What good are our tears?
They will not spare the dying their anguish.

Echoes of the Angel's Fallen
Invocation to the Muse
From the gleaming skin of life’s underbelly,
sin unreconciled, formed from Nephilim seed,
fleet footed jokers mask pawns into flight;
To the epistle of the Most High.
For in the beginning, the true and only...

They loaned to the poor, who cannot repay.
They stole from the old, who cannot recover.
They sold our future, for better or worse
and made our children pay.
They schooled arithmetic to be feared.
They tutored...

If I Understand It
If I understand correctly,
and this seems infinitesimally likely,
which is nearly infinitely unlikely,
but anyway,
If we do think bilaterally,
then we have regular imagined
and remembered,
reweaving and unweaving,
diversity through spacetime,
and then we also have RealTime 4D diversity,
and also perversity,

The Secret Lives of Chimney Pots V
Spawned from the loins that
Perpetuated the loyal serfs mongrel
Seed:-
These peoples of a conditioned and
"Resigned-To-it-all" breed.
Born into the enveloping tedium
Of interlocking days...Interwoven
With interlocking days -
Victims of stark circumstance
And vague promises unmade.
Gregariously living out their lives

Scars in Heaven, Casting Crowns
Three has ruled the roost for so long...
Four, boxed in so, has forgotten its role.
So picture five lingering outside, waiting
Thinking itself only a star
None seeing what keys are needed
To open the legendary Time of Times.

Stalked By August Trees
Every time I change directions
lately, and possibly beforely,
Trees stand by to mentor
and nurture,
to feed with branched hands
to bleed when uprooted
from aptic past centuries
of hibernating winter naps.
Trees of original pheromone attraction,
August spawned
like Taurus colonizing crabgrass
embedded in...
