The Moon As a Metaphor For Your Mouth
The Moon as a Metaphor for Your Mouth
by Michael R. Burch

it might dissolve in my mouth

The Endeavors of Lips
by Michael R. Burch
How sweet the endeavors of lips: to speak
of the heights of those pleasures which left us weak
in love’s strangely lit beds, where the cold springs creak:
for there is...

What Have I Seen?
1
Sunrise, late winter
skunk smell
turkey flock
playful otter, too.
The white heron
a great blue,
white phase,
in the abandoned beaver pond.
Purple clematis
its long-awned achenes
in globose heads
spidery, fiery, extravagant fruit!
To identify or classify
birds by
the complexity or beauty
of their songs.
And so
what is...

Howling At the Moon
Black market product truckload ...
illegal cargo of tax-free merchandise,
and plenty boxed liquor of trouble
Leather clad tattooed dirty violet blonde

In the cab backseat

About a Girl
The problem is her lips.
They don't form smiles any more than waves decide of their own accord
to lift themselves up off of the ocean's surface.
And if lips are meant to be drowsy shutters
then hers...

Little Piggy's Story
There are many pig-type stories,
Mostly told in piggy fables.
Most are cheerful little characters,
With "Happy Endings" in their labels.
Let's start with 'Porky Pig' cartoon,
S-s-s-stammering pig of Looney-Tune fame.
It's here I'll mention other pigs,
Because all pigs are...

The Town
I can remember passing through
this town as a child,
stopping for a pie
on our way north.
Now it’s bypassed – barely more
than a clot lodged
in the spidery veins of a map.
Most of the houses are empty,
the...

A House Haunted
It stood there
looking empty and old,
neglected and sad
with windows shuttered,
covered in shadow
both day and night,
hovered over
by trees whose branches
disguised the house
and made it seem
a part of the
overgrown landscape,
completely surrounding it,
keeping...

Wood Carving
Wood Carving
He sits there, not quite motionless, for
even the comfortable must alter their
perception occasionally, frozen stare
upon a craggy visage, tiny fox-like predator
eyes peering into your soul. “What are his
origins?” ask the bespectacled intellectuals.
“Who is...

Thirty-One
Thirty-one packs of chewing gum,
Clutter up my drawer,
And thirty-one times thereafter,
I forgot thirty-one times more,
And bought thirty-one times yet again
Seems somehow I found
Thirty-one more times,
I had thirty-one more such a yen...

Neverwas E.A.P. Part 1
For so long you’ve held the key, the scepter and the crown,
Harrowing the reality, the subconscious, the deep within.
Your voice was deep, poignant, forbidding. Clattering like,
The tumbling down of ancient and spidery bones, swishing
Like the...

Bubbling babbling burbling banter from the bar..
