Naptime was precious for this mother.
A time of quiet,...

You have all the gear and it coordinates, you always seem glam on...

Musings at Giza
by Michael R. Burch

In deepening pools of shadows lies
the Sphinx, and men still fear his eyes.
Though centuries have passed, he waits.
Egyptians gather at the gates.

Great pyramids, the looted tombs
—how still and desolate their...

Mommie, what did you think when I was born
Thought you most stunning sight eyes could adore
To think you were mine was beyond belief
Knowing you were healthy was sweet relief

Eyes shut, my erratic stamina borrows comfort 
Curled into leather front seat, chest inhales safe

Each time my Auntie Rosa went to shop in the High Street,
She’d bring us back a pink-iced bun; it was our special treat.

Ship-wretched

Golden sand as far as can be seen
Lapped by an ocean, aquamarine
Sun blazing, high, in an azure sky
Another land hermit crab scampers on by
Palms edge the beach gifting welcome respite

Sun,
Awakening,
Remembering, sex, sounds, Miles in the Sky,
Jaegermeister, O, bad, when, warm, why?

And I.

Thundering,
Thud-thudding,
Slow,
On the beach.

Serendip morning, perfect,
Palm-fronded, dawning, blue...

Is to join a...

and dug my toes into lemon-colored grains of sand,
nearly the same light hue of a fresh egg yolk,  if fried
in Summer heat of...

as I drizzle sweet lemonade
on my dehydrated tongue.

I dip my toes into the fondant

tease of a...

Commingled human sweat permeates the atmosphere.
Grunts and clanging iron greet the ear.
Leotard clad women, without body fat, spring.
Pumped up upper bodies of tattooed men expand.

The smoothie bar dispenses recovery drinks.
Stationary bicycles travel miles, without leaving...

Turn off your youthlight
and say farewell to the child
embrace the gist of it
WE ARE NO LONGER FUN AND WILD

Examine thy cracks

Fall glides in on the wings
of migrating monarchs,
stained glass visions seeking respite
from a tedious journey
signaling a change in our surroundings

Blushing, the complexion of November
slips from swimsuit informalities
to fawn layered outfits of earth tone lace
Singing of...
