Morgan Michaels Poems

They didn't work, but garnering no wage
Levied the patronage of court and king-
Deeming song too rich or poor a thing
For market barter, they composed their page
...

Once I thought Love a bright phantasm
That shed unequal parts of heat and light
Chaste and lucent when Apollo has him
But with Bacchus hot and short of sight;
...

$ Excuse me, are you selling that ticket?

+ I am.
...

Before the bridge
There was dreaming.
Before there was a dream,
There was Brooklyn, gleaming.
...

Oh, God,
stuck in your heaven
with all due respect
how many times
...

At WHAT time in the afternoon?
...

This haiku may be
recorded for quality
and training purposes.
...

Lovely love came on
like a download, slow then fast,
first slow, whoa, then fast.
...

Neither clever nor rich
I am a simple man
and when misfortune plays its balalaika
I dance, for what else is there to do?
...

All night I stare at your window-
Square moon
Gauze curtain
Pitchy brick
...
