Poetry
by Michael R. Burch
Poetry, I found you
where at last they chained and bound you;
with devices all around you
to torture and confound you,
I found you—shivering, bare.
They had shorn your raven hair
and taken both...

The Tender Weight of Her Sighs
The Tender Weight of Her Sighs
by Michael R. Burch
The tender weight of her sighs
lies heavily upon my heart;
apart from her, full of doubt,
without her presence to revolve around,
found wanting direction or course,
cursed with the thought...

Radiance
by Michael R. Burch
for Dylan Thomas
The poet delves earth’s detritus?hard toil?
for raw-edged nouns, barbed verbs, vowels’ lush bouquet;
each syllable his pen excretes?dense soil,
dark images impacted, rooted clay.
The poet sees the sea but...

Final Lullaby
Final Lullaby
by Michael R. Burch
for my mother, Christine Ena Burch
Sleep peacefully—for now your suffering’s over.

unmoved by any motion of the wind.

Lyric
Aloha
Hello? Are you there today?
Have I scared you away?
Spent my whole teenage life,
Preparing for this day of strife
To say my goodbye's
To your love-me-not lies
Oh well, oh well
I'm not saying farewell
Where do you dwell?
In...

Under Earth's Political Skin
Shalom, Aloha, Namaste
Healthy identity is rooted in wealthy socioeconomic trust,
beginning in utero
swimming about in embryonic nutrition,
rather than active distrust
or more passive mistrust of the unknown
yet frightening alien, aggressive Other.
Psychological fuel for polypathic political trust
is safe...

Tired from walking he...

Concrete Hearts, the Deep End Keys and the Miniaturist's Poetry of Sleep
“Concrete Hearts, the Deep End Keys and the Miniaturist's Poetry of Sleep”
Following the Babel paths,
where footprints progress
like rough-hewn braille,
temptation shows itself well deep
to be turned and touched,
substantially labyrinth
The Open
is lead
further in, and...

Alice Through The Wormhole

Galactic Strings Or Void of Space
Galactic Strings or Void of Space?
A poem’s akin to a necklace, one fashioned
of water-worn pebbles (from rarest of realms),
stone cold truths tumble-polished, love’s chord weaves together.
Do fossilized beads left behind in Life’s wake
spark faint hint...

The Unlit Flame At Blue Feather's Cross Roads
"The Unlit Flame at Blue Feather’s Cross Roads"

like drops of lifeless blood falling cold on a hot frying pan,
sentences are scattered, stuck in Go Nowhereland,
semi-solid, immovable coagulating gelatinous, turning dark...

Transmigration of the Wind
The strong gust of wind was cut off from its source; a frigid early spring blast that swept across a lofty mountain range, high above British Columbia.
It then encircled one of the lesser peaks and...

Burnt Aqua
"Burnt Aqua"
I can taste the sun
on my tongue
it spills down
my throat
like burnt aqua
healing the beating frisson
I am ebony inside
shading in my shadow world

waking from slumber’s dream dance
a small death in life...

A Paradox of Time Reborn
The sun, resplendent in its blazing might,
Burns fiercely o'er a barren, lifeless waste,
A desert dry and vast where earth is scorched
By searing radiation, deathly bright.
No sign of life but one lone phoenix flies,
Soaring precarious, close...

Her pride possessions. 01

More intoxicating than wine,
As it reveals the beauty,
Of a woman's alluring binds. 02

All the Worlds There Are
Just watching raindrops slapping leaves

including fame and posterity. Monday
