Kurt this poem reminds me of two things fear and aging. Passion may be suppressed by trepidation or habit and time. A beautiful write my friend

Kurt, what a thoughtful triad, my friend. From wandering wisdom to moral restraint to the honesty of the present moment, each piece deepens the last. The clarity here invites reflection. Always appreciate your voice. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Divorcing Time
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this is beautifully measured. The way you let language hover between promise and absence…especially that sense of time quietly undoing certainty…feels both intimate and philosophical. A resonant piece for sure. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Language indeed is a complicated thing Kurt. In this case I am not sure if it language is ever faithful it seems to leave its seeds everywhere and seems an open womb for carrying the seed of many foreign strains.

Lances & A Mace
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this is stark and cutting. The compression gives it force…every word feels sharpened, ceremonial, and unforgiving. It hits hard without excess. Well done!🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Such a lovely recounting of an ancient story where sacrifical blood is the only thing that redeems be it sins or accusations. We all need a redeemer. Lovely write Kurt

Unto Ash (+1)
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this pairing works powerfully. The first poem races with consequence and memory, while the second distills disorientation into a single, biting truth. And wow is it a truth! 💯 Together they feel like a moral chase and its quiet, devastating punchline. Strong work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Wow Kurt you need to pick up the pace and make a hard right. I heard that zigzagging may be helpful when someone is shooting at you or an alligator is after you, it might help with Old Nick he may be short sighted. A great poem that has some levity in it as well.

Kurt, this lands with quiet force. It feels like a pause that resets everything, asking the reader to actually arrive in the moment. That clarity hits hard. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Tuesday Triumvirate
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this triumvirate feels intentional and exacting. Love, deception, and time are stripped to their cores, with no excess and no sentimentality. The cumulative effect is thoughtful, unsettling, and deeply reflective. Strong work, dear friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this feels exhilarating and defiant. There’s a joy in outrunning the rules and trusting the leap, even when recognition lags behind. The poem carries its own momentum. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The One To Embrace (+1)
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this is a disciplined trio. The artist who unsettles, the memory stripped to its core, the emperor exposed by indifference…each poem sharpens the next. Together they read as a meditation on humility, perception, and the cost of ignoring the obvious. Strong, confident work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The first one Kurt is so much on target even research shows that fears must be confronted to be defeated. The second is one of delusion both of the voter and the incumbent a wonderful write.

Kurt, this is a disciplined body of work. From memory and absence to legacy and fate, each poem offers a clean edge that invites contemplation rather than explanation. Taken together, they read like signposts along a long interior road. Strong, thoughtful writing. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, these poems speak to each other across registers…one exposes the mechanics of harm, the other the cost of wisdom. Together they suggest that seeing clearly is only the beginning, and living with the question is the real work. I couldn\'t agree more. 💯 Powerful, disciplined writing, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, these two pieces speak to each other beautifully. One names death as an inescapable horizon, the other makes it intimate and immediate. Together they form a quiet reckoning with finality and self judgment that doesn’t ask for comfort. Powerful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
