Many have seen, with their own eyes,
Large signs of Christians crosses
Right in the middle of the cloudy skies.
Giving us our blessed assurance while
Giving unto all of tear drops of purest
Joy in all of our eyes.

Forever

“Forever”



When The Terrors came,
The Uncontrollable Ones,

she followed the

Here the recalcitrant wind
sighs with grievance and remorse
over fields of wayward gorse

Radiance, For Dylan Thomas

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;

Myth, after Dylan Thomas
by Michael R. Burch

Curtainless glass unable to subdue the urgency

The God Complex

“The God Complex”

hidden under layers of ink
he whispers his words

like a haunting breeze
dust blown off the pages
towards the back of their minds

once-in-a-while 
reminding them of stories 
they are eventually, all souls

the less difference I find in their continuing distinctions

Like interdependent cognitive thoughts
and intuited feelings,
their side by divide expertise,
their mutually exclusive bilateral oppositions 
merge toward dipolar appositions,

All equal, as if, for the first time,

but to get there we must leave mind behind,
whence in staid stillness thus, we go in deep,
