Quickening
A blue pastel haze
On this midwinters day
envelops the world as we know it around
I pause in this whistling quiet of snow
And take in the absense of sound
Within I felt a budding
the slightest little nudge
has cracked this frozen layered facade
I believed no way would budge
Hold out I will for eventual thaw
Winter will pass this way by

In Time With Autumn
In Time with Autumn
—————————————-
Autumn rushed ahead
without me,
Leaving me to chase
After its perfect
violet skylight.
My running feet crack
The silence of
the earlier dusk, with
My mashing of
the dry death
Of the discarded
Brown and golden leaves
Covering the ground
I course,
Trying to catch up.
It seems
Time has become

The Quickening of the Heart
The Quickening of the Heart
Eyes open wide, but inside I’m still searching;
Gotta find a wife before the end of the road.
Driven all my life on these feet I’m still using;
Following the light that I keep in my soul.
When all is said and done I want you to paint my picture.
The story of a son, with

I, Zombie, Part Iii: the Quickening
Thoughts racing faster
The Monster is the master
Who’ll be outlaster?
Fear is growing fast
As the Zombie I am cast
Can I hold, outlast?
Taken to the task
Face becoming a forged mask
Partake of the cask
Am I savable?
The Monster wants Rafael
Why? Kane slew Able…
Sins of the father
Could be sins of the mother
This we must pay for?
Am I a fixture?
Where’s my soul

The Quickening
The Quickening
by Michael R. Burch
for Beth
I never meant to love you
when I held you in my arms
promising you sagely
wise, noncommittal charms.
And I never meant to need you
when I touched your tender lips
with kisses that intrigued my own—
such kisses I had never known,
nor a heartbeat in my fingertips!

The Quickening of Haida
While watching Bill Reid’s wooden sculpture
“The Raven and the First Men”(1)
One day,
after the long and countless searches of bottom of the abysmal waters
with cycles of formation and extinction of renewed waves and ripples,
a Raven with jet-black feathers that is darker than the darkest night
brought a shellfish to Haida Gwaii(2)
the other side of the

Quickening
Vibration stimulation creates molecular transformation…
Our universe speaks vibrational sound…
Discover your universe name within your ears going round and round…
Simplicity within synchronicity guiding me through my infinite multiplicity…
Mental confusion the ingrained crime…
Leaving us empty;
Doing time…
Doing time…
Doing time…
My emancipation from the illusion of confusion flows through me with spirit fused rhyme…
Blasting through the blockade, divine frequencies our

That Familiar Quickening... Part 1
Turbine whistling
Wait...
Until all is green
Time to go
That familiar quickening
Of a heart
Trained in the art of war
To do battle
Rotors spinning
Left and right...
The tech calls
Clear!
Progressive collective
Rising high
In to the sunlight
Time to target
Five minutes
That familiar quickerning
Switches, set
Terrs, visual!
Lynxes, marking with frantan
Left hand orbit
Time to go...
Heave of cyclic
Nose up
Shudder
Bleeding off speed
Safeties , off
You hear
