Myth
by Michael R. Burch

Here the recalcitrant wind
sighs with grievance and remorse
over fields of wayward gorse
and thistle-throttled lanes.
And she is the myth of the scythed wheat
hewn and...

of a halcyon star
now drowning in night...
So your memories are.
Footprints on beaches
now flooding with water;
the small, broken ribcage
of some primitive slaughter...
So near, yet so far.
A Surfeit of...

Modern Sonnets IMODERN SONNETS I

Today Is DifferentToday is assiduously
religiously different,
as I review our local RiverEast News.
Every week
Mike Thompson writes a solid Editorial
in a compelling voice.
I expect to only add
my hearty sacred
happy secular "Amen!"
Our nearly fearless Editor and Chief
calls for political "ACCOUNTABILITY!"

The Beast of the CaveWhen I was young, and adventure routine,
With excitement and newness still unforeseen
I was eager to spread my wings to the world
And seek more adventures as those wings unfurled
Within my long travels I happened to meet

BurnBurn
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.

Sublime TerrorLet's say I am an anthropocentric terrorist.
What would we be saying?
And isn't that redundant somehow?
If terrorists are ethnocentric,

Liber Novus
“Liber Novus”
Life is read
it bleeds continually
we simply need to stop
and breathe forgive
ourselves for tripping
over misspent thought
too caught up and enraptured
in the chapters we imagine
we always dream
best beginnings
and tidy arduous ends
unicorns in black matter
