#palimpsest
Scrape faded ink
From beleaguered skin
Bathe arcane curses
In acidic intent
Engrave ancient wisdom
Illuminate us anew

Tillage
by Michael R. Burch
What stirs within me
is no great welling
straining to flood forth,
but an emptiness
waiting to be filled.
I am not an orchard
ready to be harvested,
but a field
rough and barren
waiting to be tilled.
