“SUMMER”
Where
has Summer
gone?
The world
has lost
Summer
Sweet
little
dream
missing
all those other
beautiful
small dreams

The Payload
"The Payload"

Forever
“Forever”

see-saws the labyrinth
like Delphi tendrils crossing channels
all the changing faces played

ghostwriting...

Free Verse IiiSalve
by Michael R. Burch
for the victims and survivors of 9-11

but as we lie here
in bed
stricken to the heart by love
despite war’s
flickering images,
sometimes we still touch,
laughing, amazed,
that our flesh
does not despair
of love
