Lady’s Favor
by Michael R. Burch
May

fling
her riotous petals
devil-
may-care
into the air,
ignoring the lethal
nettles
and may
May

So humble as my heart when she pulls her arm
Away, like a secret not ready to be opened,

This uncanny spark—this soul—
That man so very hubristically
Dared to name so.

that bloomed in each fragrant spring,
and the canaries and butterflies flew over them

Smearing white spiraling cloud icings
Appearing applied by a painter’s hand

As eventually will happen with all belief systems
The curvature and reflection of oceans

Kind as the rain who bleeds hope,
Quiet, like the whisper of light,
Tender as the heart who sings praise.
Joyful, like the guitar’s rhythmic chorus,
Elated by the wonder of a priceless psalm,
Jubilant, like...
