Robert Burns Translation: To a LouseTo a Louse
by Robert Burns
translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
Hey! Where're you going, you crawling hair-fly?
Your impudence protects you, barely;
I can only say that you swagger rarely
Over gauze and lace.
Though faith! I fear you dine but...

Wash Back Days
The past got a wet way of coming back
to unsettle the present
with haunting future dreams
Who moistened the bed
with such troublesome memories?
There are dark terrors in the night
for the children
of those whose fathers ignited the...

Imagination
The mist fell over the lake like a grey blanket.
Only the sound similar to a ranket*
The water still and lifeless, not a ripple to be seen.
The air not foetid but fresh and clean.
And I felt...

Puppy Love Ain'T No SaviourAdvance and dance towards destiny
Galumph
Defy the lie and cry of scrutiny
Triumph
Over hurdles seen and unseen
Drive and dive to arrive
At the intersection where a queen
Awaits your appearance as you strive
To breach odds stacked against success
Meant...

Boiling Overanguish overflows
pouring thoughts
into a legitimacy
I had been told
best left not to unsettle
what has been imposed
but that corrosive tolerance
will slow drip life if left seeded
a door that had guarded
a frail lock

Never ForgottenNever Forgotten
In silence I do sit
And think amongst a dream
Nothing will be real
For a reverie cannot redeem.
Fiction or non-fiction
I try to narrate
Yet it tends to work against me
My mind cannot relate.
You mean so much to...

Was This a DreamThe evenings cool became tempered.
The dreams made light of the day
There in shadows were fearful things
Yet the light shone brightly in the room
What is it I asked that things are unbalanced

An Emerald PondCoastline of the peat swamp is obscuring.
In addition, the shadow of a lone angler.
Water lilies turn purple as the sun is setting.
Avoid being stung by sedge and strangler.

Underground RiversUnderground rivers unsettle thoughts,
feelings on stable ground.
Real estate doesn't sound as real
with thoughts of hyporheic flow
beneath our feet,
out of sight and sound.
Rivers are meant to have light on top,
transparency.
Underground flow must look more like a...

He spoke low with a drawl

He came like the wind that threatened

Peaceful dreamingI hover outside the fringes of a distant crowd
a soft disquiet looming beyond the darkness
the moons of Jupiter sucking me into a shroud.
I choose to be pleasantly placid this moment
my eyes fixed at the faint...

The UnexpectedSomeday, maybe
I will be unshakeable
unmovable
steadfast-
I tell myself.
So secure in
myself and the
present moment and
all the little minuscule things
that I control
That nothing and no one
will ever shake me up
unsettle or disturb me
ever again...
Like a monk
breathing out, breathing...

an evil heart and what it...

I Walked In ReverseThe dust hovering just above their souls
A journey lay dormant awaiting to recoil
Through their dead skin these footprints dwell
Is my rhythm a curse from some ancient spell?
I lived as a blind bat in pockets of...

Forever My LoveForever my love my starving heart beats
At the path of velvet red rose petals
Scattered towards the lull of satin sheets
Where there we settle under prism crystals
We trace benignly through romantic sighs
With the waning and ebbing...

Pour Your Heart OutWhilst tomorrow's maze summer heart may grieve
Ripened feel of the mine and old heart's weave.
The seam leaves and fine bright colored petal
utter silence of my home, unsettle.
As on a canvas of colors, same when
A process...
