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...

A Vain Word
A Vain Word
by Michael R. Burch
Oleanders at dawn preen extravagant whorls
as I read in leaves’ Sanskrit brief moments remaining
till sunset implodes, till the moon strands grey pearls
under moss-stubbled oaks, full of whispers, complaining
to the darkening...

Forevermore
My Iphone softly played Reveille as my 4:30 morning alarm. Without opening my eyes, I found the phone in the dark and tapped off the alarm.
I gradually worked my way out of the guest...

Narrative
The Spirit of Soup Creek
In Soup Creek saloon behind Jenna’s bar
Milt’s holsters and belt and a posthumous star
Are fixed to a plaque to remember him best
There’s a custom made bracket where Milton’s guns rest
The gun barrels cross over Milt’s...

There Is But One Word
Warning - Mature.
Sweet night, a blanket made from scented space - holds this would-be poet in its arms.

The View From a Window
A view of the ragged woodland from
The window:-
Slender branched trees that shed
From high above to low below;
The faint, mauven peaks
Smattered with barely visible
Scatterings of drifted snow;
Across the matted undergrowth
A bronzed carpet of copper coloured
Leaves
Whose rusting...

Of Calydorn he speaks each night while drinking bitter ale.
Of battles won and battles lost out on the planes of Veil.

We Loved with Wild Abandon: full version
Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and...

No Dearer Faithful Old Friend
It was a day when the crowded avenue of wizened oak trees
Loosened its first spluttering of yellowing leaves;
And far out across the stubbled fields, devoid of the

Summer Saturdays
On a Michigan farmer Saturday
in August,
anticipating tomorrow's evangelical Sabbath,
When late summer vacations
invoked sanctified house cleanings
more unusually light,
Heading outside after lunch
into this spectacularly breezy
blue billowing
discontinuously cumulus cloudy
in-between radiant sky blue
infinite wonder
Into this awesomely long leisurely afternoon
becoming...

intermittently.
The house wine was red,
the bread was good bread.
The creamy leaf was dressed,
it bloomed and licked the mouth
with a blithe bouquet of...

Hide of Tyke in Hold
Heartthrob in damsel drag
Belief of human bile
Completely instilling cascading dregs of mechanical flesh, bones and spit
64th avenue
And coiling deft doom
Winged balls of bulging blood and speckled steel
Merry wails and flutters of moths unsealed
Fitted...

My eyes are watching you, your eyes are watching me
But all the thoughts you’ve gathered, could never ever see
The memories lying, dying here inside of me
It was a cold hard wind that blew, through...

Unalive
Unalive
I am unalive. I am not dead
but neither do I live: I exist
in black & white, which are uncolors
(mixed together they make gray).
Sight, sound, movement & sensation are
mere mechanics by themselves . ....

Escapes from my lips

The October Incident
Tombstones floated on a green marsh haze
Wolf moon pulled a blanket of gray along
Howling creatures mourned, reached their ends
A fog, a drape of death, over open crypt and stubbled earth
Down to the...
