Vacuum
Vacuum
by Michael R. Burch
Over hushed quadrants
forever landlocked in snow,
time’s senseless winds blow...
leaving odd relics of lives half-revealed,
if still mostly concealed...

gliding in vast solitariness there,
so that all that remains is to
fall?

Regret

Regret,
a bitter
ache to bear...
once starlight
languished
in your hair...
a shining there
