My Uncanny Sighs of Distress and the Tears of Tribulation

I’m in distress
I can’t express
How I feel deep down inside
This feeling is a terrible tide

By God’s Law, I don’t subside

My tears are diamonds in...

Be of Good, Compassionate Courage

Dandelions…
They flutter, now I see
Fiery lions…
They're dancing with me

Come out and shine down 
Moonlight…
Shun out my darkened frown

I am the infinitesimal stars in the tranquil, terrestrial night
I am the scars minutes before the sunlit dawn...

Erin

Erin, for a girl who embodies Ireland

Tawfiq Zayyad Translation: Here We Shall Remain

Here We Shall Remain
by Tawfiq Zayyad
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

Like twenty impossibilities
in Lydda, Ramla and Galilee ...
here we shall remain.

Like brick walls braced against your chests;
lodged in your throats
like shards of glass
or prickly cactus...

And Still I Drive - Part One

Stars fall under failing skies...stars fall...stars fall...
And sadly...i start to drive.
Through the unremarkable village with its tall 
Georgian Bay window panes, lightless,

Abject countenance with detached contempt and...

Modus Operandi of Psychopaths and Sociopaths

Modus Operandi of psychopaths and sociopaths

They are all around us, seeking to destroy us,
if not to kill us, to maim us, for life
physically, mentally, emotionally
morally, financially.

They are the psychopaths and sociopaths!

Now psychopaths are rare indeed,...

Pulse of the Poet's Abyss

In my chambers where phantasmagoria undulate

Come and Go

Her back never faces the door

“I’ll only need you on certain days”

she says
(absently)

“I’ll have to write them down
my memory doesn’t work so well

The Dancing Tree

Long long ago in a lonely lovely hill
When earth was young, handsome and green
Besides the meadow near the curly winding flow
There stood a tree proudly high and spry.

Swaying and dancing in wheezy pleasy breeze

The Village On the Water Iv

Thump-thump of stiffening fish contorting
   In the bilge beneath the gunwale; 
 Lidless, bulging, reddened eyes, swivelling upwards, 
Protruding horribly from the straining sockets,
    Express stupefied amazement at inconceivable
