for my heart's
sharp edges.
Let me give her roses

season.

Modern Sonnets I
MODERN SONNETS I

"Salvage"
Salvage the fixating salvation
unfurling from the wreckage
of a numb world twisted inside

reaching upwards travelling in a new time
of melting morpheme moments overlapping

Roaring its heartfelt existence known
Our prince roared...

Another Apricot Sunrise
It was just one of those splendid days, which held no excitement;
Moreover it required none, for in its stillness, I was content.
Lying on the forest green grass, luxurious blue skies in my eyes,
Summer winds brought...

Multiculturing Communion
Our anti-racism, pro-polyculturing health
anti-egopatriarchy, pro-ecofeminist wealth
anti-homophobic, pro-trans-regenerative
anti-injustice Team, pro-restoring peace Organizers
Meet inside a viciously anti-outdoor

attitude of ungratitude.
Two women I passionately admire,

Toasting Therapeutic Trees
I talk with indigenous treed elders;
Tell them about my distractions
divisions
severance in-between
secular and sacred beings,
between human nature and divine spirit,
between ecological relationship
and theological redemption.
Communing cultures
and structures
return a secularized version
of theological Earth/Heaven

and divinely radiant

We’re just friends, sends a shiver down my spine.
We want to believe, those who know nothing but lying.
We burn alive, while we still stay trying,

Early Poems XXI
These are my early poems, or juvenilia.
Stars
by Michael R. Burch, age 22
Though night has come,
I'm not alone,
for stars appear
—fierce, faint and far—
to dance until they disappear.
They reappear
as clouds roll by
in stormy billows
past bent willows;
sometimes they...

when all the while
the wind bears me across the immense sky.

Crazy Horse's Naming Vision
Crazy Horse's Naming Vision
by Michael R. Burch
Earthbound,
and yet I now fly
through these clouds that are aimlessly drifting...
so high
that no sound
echoing by
below where the mountains are lifting
the sky
can be heard.
Like a bird,
but not meek,
like a hawk...

Five Wiseelders
Five WiseElders come together
hoping to complete their life circles
resonantly yin, right embodied
sacred light
resiliently yang, left enspirited
secular polypathic bright
Hearing emotions
before seeing to speak changing motions
of flow-strength, river currents spinningly deep
and winningly wide
to move Earth's deforested
un-glaciered mountains.
