Deep CoMessianic Engagement
Ms. Real Time,
an often engaging Taoist,
but sometimes, admittedly, not so much,
more of a disengaged cannibal really
on her dark time of before and after
her Taoist stimulating period
if you know what I winterish mean.
Anyway,
Ms. Real Time
invited her...

Parallelismus Membrorum
Once Upon a Time
There stood a castle on the summit of a hill
Now fallen to decay, hidden among bushes wild
It perched like an eagle’s nest on the steep hill
It was owned by a Lord, gentle and mild
Blessed with...

Burn
Burn
by Michael R. Burch
for Trump
Sunbathe,
ozone baby,
till your parched skin cracks
in the white-hot flash
of radiation.
Incantation
from your pale parched lips
shall not avail;
you made this hell.
Now burn.

Why I Loved Cds Poem: Past Time Nightmare
PAST TIME NIGHTMARE
Based on events I experienced.
A child of four suffers recurring dreams,
disturbing parents and siblings with screams.
When she awoke, always sore in one knee;

Night after night she feared...

March
March fell against you
Like a cockatoo.
Leaned and ignited,
A burning chorus
Of quiet orchids
Yells me to your
Distance.
Our love dies
As before it began,
In silence.
Vast and internal.
The night stretches
Abandoned arms of
Battered silence
Across your great light.
I remember your light
Under the...

PAINTBRUSH
Fingertips the bristles of a

on pacified cheekbones
instead of in liver
from whence it sprung

HeartSpace with witty

From cheekbones
it slid to jugular...

The First Stone- Part I
As they threw her to the ground
He quickly drew back into the crowd
Adjusting his clothing
Hoping to go unnoticed
To fit in
He watched her
Cover her bare breast
With his prayer shawl
Why hadn't he been smart enough
To grab that...

Griselda
There was a garden gnome named Griselda
who lived by my back garden gate
she was nasty and mean, at times quite obscene
to Gregor, her poor garden mate.
She screeched and she stomped as she threw things
like my...

The Slave's Tale: Revenge
Exracted from Gerald Nforche's Epic, The Slave's Tale
-Across the Atlantic, 1793-
And as days tumbled away, we staggered
Along, knock-kneed, dead beat and haggard.
Our bodies singing to the tune of the whip
Whizzing on morsels of flesh, so...

To See Marlena, Part I
Conley Pratt slouched over the horn
of a battered and trail-worn saddle,
been on the run for several hours now
after being caught rustling cattle.
His side ached, caked in fresh blood
from where a large bullet had struck,
he heard...
