Into the Gloom
Into the gloom by Michael R. Burch Into the gloom, beyond the point of caring, past fascist rows that stare and blanch and cross and watch us always, by the sunset's flaring, we watch our footprints vanish. Sponge-like moss absorbs our heavy bootheels, till the whisper of passing from the earth, our soft refrain, sounds like the hoot owl's eerie...

Black Colt Vesper
I lay my dark and spiraled finger against pure and corded wildwood, In the wailing current of the rich wheels of wilderness, Before the sonant vesper of dreaming by a worshiping colt, Shielded from sheaths of stone by a tree marked in enfolding moss; The flashing tongues of rolling air in fluent, black, and breathing flesh, Smoking in its morning cloak of great, weaving...

Venus
More beauteous than Helen of Troy! More beauteous than all beauty queens! More beauteous than the foggy eves: More beauteous than the starry beams; Was it thou angels Who beguiled? With thy unearthly beauty sheen! In far off, far off, far off well From centuries hanging they unseen Which name of Lord thou learned from Them? By which magic them...

Vesper
She sits in beauty seeking the night Holding her unborn child tight Waiting for the day to greet her Hold her close and secure Knowing times may be tough Yet the bond that is growing Will be enough To heal some of the wounds Close some of the holes As she sits and contemplates her future A soft smile appears and she...

Vesper
Chores are completed, and rest opens its arms to embrace weariness. Satisfaction and fulfillment voice approval and encouragement. Life seems brighter-- illuminated by purpose. Anxiety is a stranger and joy my closest friend....

Vesper
Her eyes, though once bright, are cloudy, shrunken and fragile the form that long was brimful of vigor and a will to outlast life's storms. She stares past a blank horizon through a door that I do not know; the colors she sees are memories, scents and sounds of the long ago. A kaleidoscope of faces turns merry-go-round in her mind; while trees out her...
