Regret
by Michael R. Burch

Regret,
a bitter
ache to bear...

once starlight
languished
in your hair...

a shining there

as rare.

Regret,
a pain
I chose to bear...

unleash
the torrent
of your hair...

and show me

A Thousand Points of Light! ! ! ! !

A shining light on the hill

Never more than aspirational
Structurally delusional

Always susceptible to its

Hidden Beauty
Hidden beauty resides not in the grace like charms
Of coy smiles 
Painted across a gentle Madonnas face.
Nor is she vested within the chastened vows
Of saintly knights; encased Great-Helm:
Thus maketh the pale maidens meek pulse
To so...

And depressingly BusinessAsUsual
penetrated 
exhumed

extracted
distracted by runaway toxic chaos?

Yesterday,
on my way to a deep rooted tree and shrub nursery
half-way across Connecticut's Route 1 made-over shoreline

The Secret Lives of Chimney Pots Iii
Marching out of the cloaked shires

Amassing in the great cities, where,
Inhabiting shadowy chambers,

The Elevated One
I climbed atop the mountains,
To find the Elevated One,
He is in one of it's summits,
Living all alone.

I found him under a tree,
Can't be found by anyone,
I sit beside him,
Tired and done.

I began to speak,
