Snapshots
by Michael R. Burch
Here I scrawl extravagant rainbows.
And there you go, skipping your way to school.
And here we are, drifting apart
like untethered balloons.
Here I am, creating "art,"
chanting in shadows,
pale as the crinoline moon,
ignoring your face.

Completing the Pattern

Pied tidings of suburbian
Magpies,
Squawking and squabbling,
Quarreling ferociously among
Themselves -
Rush to steal
From off the beleaguered bird

Before scurrying away into
Unfrequented woodlands,
Marooned like islands in...

Execute the steal
Professing rather than real
The truth to conceal
Blessing progeny

Not autonomy

Making Sandbaggers
Men try to judge Him
When self-righteousness rules them

Golgatha's End
From Gabbatha, before the judgment seat,
a winding, tortured road: Golgatha's end.
His flesh in shreds, he staggers on His feet,
rough timbers grate excoriated skin.
The lines from Jesse's root are drawn by thorns,
the precious blood, in rivulets,...

The Perambulator
It squeaked as it slowly rolled out the door
Trundled out the rusty gate
Over the sunken wooden bridge
and onto the sandy sidewalk.
The daily trudge had begun.
Nestled and nurtured within were the lives of her family
And...

The drink has taken over

For all the weighted years of empires
Stockpiled with human grief
For all the fallen towers of desires
From which love has no relief
For all the cargo of the heart and ships
Tossed and turned where water whips
