ripe cantaloupe, the honeysuckle’s spout

the ordinary, and inhale perfume ...

New Sores Become Old Sores and Grow To Mature Into Scars

The Circus - a TautogramAmazing acrobats astound awe-stricken audiences. Amy always asks about acts already arranged.
Bouncing bears balance beach balls. Bobby Bear bicycled behind Betsy Bear.
Crazy clowns crash carelessly. Carousels circle clockwise.
Daring demonstrations dazzle dazed dreamers....

Intermission - Flutterby Reveille
"Intermission: Flutterby Reveille"
Impromptu like a moth
pale words flutter out of his
psychodelic mind
curious funny flutterby…
for a second then, I didn't move,
deadpan, I said,
"... try again with some panache, some style"
incredulously, I smiled,

And we did drown in a frenzied dance,
Not dreaming, that dawn would bloom
And wake us from - our mystic trance.
Owls hailed us, with their wild whoops,
And gloom bloomed,...

Tightropes of the Three Graces
"Tightropes of the Three Graces"
Tightropes
for hanging clothes
on a line
each piece
pegged wooden
held between closed fences
misfortune's breeze lifts
sleeves like covers
pointing the way home
books and their pages
for The Davenport dancers
all's well that ends well...

DaredevilDaredevil
by Michael R. Burch
There are days that I believe
(and nights that I deny)
love is not mutilation.

taut wires strumming high
brief songs, infatuations.
Daredevil, dry your eyes.
There were cannon shots’ soirees,

Logos
"Logos"
always there
walking tightropes
beside me
pre-existent
logos walking
parting
waves in air
I turn my back
on eyes that speak
lost knowledge imprint
I turn my back
on recalcitrant
childhood dreams
I turn around ;
you,
the shadow
still seen
a ghost
haunting
persistent
remain

Not Yet RosesMy core being is tired
Drained, exhausted
Where can I rest?
Recharge, sleep
Inject my vitamin
Warmth, revitalized
A burst of soulful sun
Inside, passion
A sense of well being?
Is there any truth to that?
Mother will I be ok?
In my darkness I try...
