Aroused within me
Re-awoke as 'twere
Fine senses, fleshless ones.
Make one feel deeper.

All of you lovelies
Honourably blest
Hovered round, so rained upon
Tearily know this.
Blushing, for amaryllis.
More abashed, dearest!

Fog of Midnight

Cold dews swirl
In ebony mists ~
Breath of fleshless shadows
Creeps in veils where goblins dance ~
Spinning gloom

A white pumpkin? My first thought:

A large white fleshless bony hand
or two, joined at the wrists to creepily band
together to form a gourd;
reaching out of the cold ground
toward the stem, all around;
it doesn’t strike a festive chord

a cheerless harvest hybrid; my last thought…

scared
stared
to long
in the mirror of what was supposed to be
me

then
when
looking
under the beard and fleshless smile
me

but my eyes passed
the casting  gaze
glazed by bright
smiles dimmed
me

i saw you
you saw me
further study will enlighten and align me
to no longer be
me but us

From my bathroom throne
		I overlook heads of trees
		men for all seasons
		who sway and still
		like felt and feathered burghers
		dependent on his lordship’s
		words.

		In glowering times
		they cloak themselves in mist,
		hiding like fleshless nerves
		from courts and kings
		and the kings’ best choristers
		the birds.

I see hunger written in mixed 
colors in their
eyes.
sickness eating their eye 
lashes with fun.
i see sorrow racing in their 
eye ball,
and its depth in their fleshless 
skin.

A turn for composure,
I caught death linking its lips 
on their tongues .

This is the solace of the 
African sons'

For their Fathers have seek 
the kindheartedness of war, 
A wit, in its games.

Thin Kin
by Michael R. Burch

Skeleton!
Tell us what you lack...
the ability to love,
your flesh so slack?

Will we frighten you,
grown as pale & unsound...
when we also haunt
the unhallowed ground?
