Radiance, For Dylan ThomasRadiance
by Michael R. Burch
for Dylan Thomas
The poet delves earth’s detritus—hard toil—

dark images impacted, rooted clay.
The poet sees the sea but feels its meaning—

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 37I heard two distinct voices in the night,
Conversing amongst themselves most eagerly
They whispered like children in excitement
Their sardonic mouths sung many savvy tunes

In the colors and shimmers of the Holy Spirit,
I saw his human face,
The familiar lines, the flesh,

Smiling,
Like a heavenly beam
Splashing...
