Breakings
by Michael R. Burch
I did it out of pity.
I did it out of love.

You Never Listened
You Never Listened
by Michael R. Burch
You never listened,
though each night the rain
wove its patterns again
and trembled and glistened...
You were not watching,
though each night the stars
shone, brightening the tears
in her eyes palely fetching...
You...

Sometimes in bed
he snuggles my head,

One Day
One day not so long ago
I walked
Never alone
For the world
Is always my home
It was a late
Spring snow
Yet I felt
Invisible red roses
Offering sweetest perfume
To my nose and soul
There’s such warmth
In snow-filled winter
No bitterness
No...

and fiercest love’s wild insurrection

Ground Level Entry
"Ground Level Entry"
“She fits the bill”,
they say it
insouciantly
visions of being
carried in the beak
of a bilious pelican
where it builds
its rudimentary nest,
it uses sticks and debris
no stones, yet,

strength and weakness
