Styx
by Michael R. Burch, circa age 16
Black waters,
deep and dark and still . . .
all men have passed this way,
or will.
"Styx" is one of my better early poems, written in high school.
Childless
by Michael R. Burch
How can she bear her grief?
Mightier than Atlas, she shoulders the weight
of one fallen star.
