be it fable, allegory or parable
its only Hubris
that has us convinced, one
is any better than another
in reality, we each know
the mystery in our chosen Art
is not in any
Grecian myth or Theological \'trinity\' lore
rather
its, in the magic of the reader\'s Perspective...
we could imbue love in every syllable, and
still have a Nero or Hitler
warp it, into a cut and paste
defiling of our inking intent..
we\'re all a morbidly, vilified Nietzsche - in the making
it but takes, a betraying sister
and sinister ill-timing of political climate,
to demean
all our endeavours and hopes, into mere futile
graveyard crimson tears
of posterity\'s: poisoned ink...
(sorry Kurt, not seeing your write\'s as often these days,
that\'s why my comments are so delayed,
but its not just yours;
so I guess its just that our timing
is no longer in unison, a shame)
thanks for choosing to share, dear Poet

\'A jazz musician
wonders back\'..
Ha! seems Autumn\'s melancholic vibe
got us, thinking alike Kurt
just accompanied a write
with some soulful Coltrane, this morning..

A Last Dance (+1)
L. B. Mek said:
\'Her steps become a
garden path
her breath a fragrance
o’er the hills
to dance with future,
present, past
and spin each partner
—time undone\'..
if only, it was that easy
but still
what a beautiful image, to ponder
and wish for, my friend

I imagine if Walt Whitman
was to rewrite
his ode to his beloved America - once
\'of the Brave\',
reflecting
on the embattled Nation\'s, current state
he would write words similar to your poem, Kurt
and maybe title his lifetime\'s book
\'tears of concrete\'...
(oh, but how Grotesque
we\'ve warped, that Nature
he so humbly, adored!)

beautiful!
\'that Aurora, chance
of a refreshed perspective
to glean a shard of opportunity
amongst,
a seemingly calamitous tidal wave,
of ill-fate..\'

One Last Time
Laura🌻 said:
Kurt,
As I read “One Last Time”, for some reason I felt a certain sadness.
I guess with age and experience we come to realize that we’re
‘not here to save the world’. Hopefully we’ve made a bit of a difference. When we approach a certain period in our life, we’re no longer ‘here to ride the wave’.
That ship has sailed.
As we grow and blossom into our youthful self, we feel we can
‘save the world’.
As we approach our twilight years, we realize what is done is done…enough…che sarà sarà!
‘Time on trial my last denial
—on distant Ronan land’
Is this Ronan, Montana you’re referring to?
When I saw the word in your poem, I was wondering about its relevance…so I thought it might be a place you’ve visited during one of your many travels.
(When I read “Searching For Crazy Horse” for the second time, I was curious to know the locations of the places you wrote about. So I looked them up on a map to have an idea of your travels.)
