Kurt Philip Behm

But Spoken Once (+1)

The delivery,

 incidental to the message

 

The format,

 duly chosen for the sound

 

The listener,

 singled out with times forgiveness

 

The truth

  —but spoken once to then abound

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2018)

 

 

Beginning To End

 

Hiding within the rhyme

 lies a melody of pronouncement

 lifting the words up off the page

 

Its liberation spoken freely

 within times expanding moment

 giving and taking—beginning to end

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2019)
