White
dandelion seeds, blowing across the summer’s silence
rising up, a full moon – glowing with its music, its poetry
singing to the stars with their radiance, sparkling, wistful
while autumn thrives in her clearest skies, with tender clouds
and the winter breathes her music in flakes who create drifts

Snow White Impuritiesthe outside floated inside
white seeds seemed fluff
floating & frolicsome
until their rooted relic
of bitter dandelion wine
wished we hurried
to busy our bones
do something thoughtful.
yes..we’d pluck a stem
or two and gift
but this gift in ever after
would list and wither
so quickly amidst
the coiffer of quarrels
pushing of the dander
of matters we stuffed
our pillows with at night
nightmare of nettled
never-never disappears
snow white...

Of Paper Moons, Foxes, and Blood OrangesI. Sighting
I saw you
through refracted light-
a prism of chance
splitting ordinary into spectrum.
Wind-tangled hair
terra cotta and rosemary beneath your nails
the scent of soil and citrus on your skin.
You carried mysteries-living things
I wanted to cradle.
I didn’t find you-
you found...

Blanket Of SnowBlanket Of Snow
Blanket of snow
Your so beautiful
Bundled up in the cold
The sun melts the stars
Your shyness is revealed
Break the ice with a sense of humor
Together close by the fire
The cold brought us together
A new relationship in the winter
Mesmerizing, eyes in blue
Like the faded sky...

The Ballad of Snow WhiteA queen was spinning flax one day.
She gave her loom a jerk.
(Don’t ask what “flax” or “looms” might be,
or why a queen must work).
She pricked her finger (careful, now!)
yet Sigmund Freud would say
these children’s tales are full of smut –
there is no other way.
Three drops of blood fell in the snow
(she’s spinning flax outside?)
She thought...

The Coolness of Winter
While hearths glow warm with ember’s light,
I dance beneath the pale moon’s gleam,
Where frosted breath curls in the night,
And ice-bound dreams take flight unseen.
The wind, a whispered song so bold,
It sings of stars in frozen streams,
Of silver landscapes, fierce and cold,
A...

The jar remains still, dressed in its glass mantle like a snow globe of silent forgettingThe jar remains still, dressed in its glass mantle like a snow globe of silent forgetting,
each broken part of me lies there, floating in my warm and crimson waters,
a lake of lost memories, a mirror of the soul seeking to find itself again.
I open the jar and try to fit each piece into the deep...

Early Poems XXIIThese are my early poems, or juvenilia.
Analogy
by Michael R. Burch, circa age 19
Our embrace is like a forest
lying blanketed in snow;
you, the lily, are enchanted
by each shiver trembling through;
I, the snowfall, cling in earnest
as I press so close to you.
You dream that you now are sheltered;
I dream that I may break through.
