Army green spring--
In columns of two
Ants march across stars...

Cherry-red
Cardinal birds
Singing, Ave Maria
In rows and columns of
Thirsty-eyed sunflowers...

~  Two columns of light  ~


Blaze trails to boundless heavens.


We will not forget....

In columns of twos,
The ants march out
Like wooden soldiers,
Across the sky
To taste the swirls
Of pink 
Cotton candy clouds...

Just like mushroom clouds
Massive plumes of hot ash are
Eruption Columns

Blaise Pascal awaits his last call 
beneath Saint Etienne-du-Mont's tall 
columns and old rood screen.  God's nature, 
pray, ups the odds on his last wager....

Receiving to give more in strength

Strength reaching upwards as columns

Columns support shelter above

Above is great Intelligence...'

spider web tightly
strung between old brick columns..  
unphased by fall's winds

human hair now filled 
with sticky yuck spider web...
hard head wins battle...

Columns of sweet flag
line the ancient arena
where love conquers all

The brilliant heavens
with its endless string of pearls
dances the god waltz

If we could but see
the one locked inside we would
set a giant free...

~ whirling breathing waves contain
shifting
signs that fog the mind
~
a weather phenomenon
rotates
columns of wind draft
~
arid and semi-arid 
regions
blows loose sand and dirt

The Wall Street Journal's a mighty fine rag
   Yet its columns can make your spirits sag

Recently, as I was set to retire
   Its advice I read and nearly expired

About whether or not to marry
   Based on tax advantages ~ How scary!...

If you would like to have F U N,

When shall we?

Shall we climb into some trees and
Seep our emotions into the autumn leaves?

Follow their transition along the seasons
And cuddle our nervous excitement through
Columns of xylem and phloem?...

Water seeping through the ground,
Forming limestone, timeless round
Pillars on the ceilings, or
Columns on the cavern floor.

There, where bats escape the sun,
Nature carves, till Time is done,
Castles in Virginia caves,
Like Egyptian, carved-stone graves....

Those 

Body organs

Brain and heart 

And more

Show up in

Medical records 

Doctor's columns

And home remedies..

It is the dissection of

The separate 

Individual into

What appears as

Dissected storylines

Of knowing and

Searching......

When sunrise,
Swings her lamp,
We are born, again
Seeing closed eyelids, 
Open, with sparkling eyes
This gorgeous parade of
Snow-white sunflowers,
That sacred sun-dance,
Bathing in beige light and 
Holding the columns of this earth
Finally, this morning has broken...

Between you and I
Nothing has changed
Really.....

These confines we share
Brothers too

Columns and columns
Of phallic glass totums
Piercing the freedoms above
Business is a rapist fiend
Of love

The demonized heavens.

Who am I to judge brother?
I chose to live here...

we are living in uncertain times
a fair weather friend a nursery rhyme
eye taunt to the fabric of the lens
let's learn to depend

history tends to repeat itself
left us wandering in a swift brigade
soft parade
in uncertain times

columns of fire
quenched for your burden of desire...

I dreamed that by a grey-blue sea
Familiar columns beckoned me,
An onyx temple rearing stark
Against the surf so dark.

But in the temple drawn-out screams
Destroyed nostalgic dreams—
The screams were mine, some four
Millennia ago, in life before…
Black deja-vu, on Time’s far shore....

Airy cistern reserves now spent
Each billowing mast folds its tent
Helios hurls his flaming trident
Through singed porthole flittering glint
Fiery sparks stream through each stent
Refracted waves in mercurial columns bent
Misty water colors shroud each gilded vent
Burnt orange truffles, golden ridges resplendent...

Nestled between two bronze columns
an orchid blooms
its fleshy petals slowly unfold
secreting honeydew on a warm velvet tongue
releasing an aromatic aroma
of wondrous ecstasy
to nurture a hungry soul, with wings

The melody of your eyes
caresses my skin
as hummingbirds fly
to rose damasquin.
A few silver drops of laugh
jump at night.
Some sparks of our love 
recreate flight.
And shiny marble columns
are dancing 
under the shadows of the lamps.
Your presence is like an endless celebration,
how blessed I am to feel this moment....

artillery spent
      
               battery chickens rising 

                   the avian spring 





...and now for something completely different, 
   this eighteenth day of May, in the year,
   two thousand and twenty. 



*battery - cage used for animal production
*artillery - rows and columns of batteries connected in a unit...

She rises amidst the morning fire
Longing for the dreadful desire 
Longing and lonely as a star mourning
Again and again she desires
She desires as much as fire
Fire upon fire hungrily stands
Outstretched in columns
It descends, swooping overhead
Outstretched beyond it’s limits
She apprehends and condemns
The utmost decision;
She befriends....

Besieged
by Michael R. Burch

Life—the disintegration of the flesh
before the fitful elevation of the soul
upon improbable wings?

Life—it is all we know,
the travail one bright season brings ...

Now the fruit hangs,
impendent, pregnant with death,
as the hurricane builds and flings
its white columns and banners of snow

and the rout begins....
