Poems About FlowersLady’s Favor
by Michael R. Burch
May

fling
her riotous petals
devil-
may-care
into the air,
ignoring the lethal
nettles
and may
May
cry gleeful-
ly Hooray!
as the abundance
settles,
till a sudden June
swoon
leave us out of tune,
torn,
when the last rose is left
inconsolably bereft,

of every device but her thorn.

An Bee Cailleach
“Éagmais croí a dhíscaoileadh ar gach eagla.
Faoi dhíon taobh istigh de na blianta seo.
Fanacht i bhfianaise, a dhíscaoileadh ar gach eagla.
Ós rud é go ndearnadh tú a chaitheamh.
Briseadh an tost seo”

SnapshotsSnapshots
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.
There...

Distances
by Michael R. Burch
Moonbeams on water?
the reflected light
of a halcyon star
now drowning in night...
So your memories are.
Footprints on beaches
now flooding with water;
the small, broken ribcage
of some primitive slaughter...
So near, yet so far.
A Surfeit of...

a masculine ego quest for affaire d’amour;
her night-loving body

MonofilamaniaIt is so hard to let go of love,
lovingly.
It sharks,
unpeels more gut more quickly
than reel or reeler ever lost
in all those years of lazy inches

winding in and playing out,
hardly fishing, rarely catching
anything

a new crowd of cumulus clouds arrive
and revive a sepia sky-scene—
unworldly woolgatherers gather
spinning fantasy fluff into quixotic yarns
of debutantes dancing with honeymoon hunger-
dewy eyes blurred by the sawdust of stardust
pseudo-princess-pleasure-seekers
