Kurt Philip Behm

Times Shadow (+3)

His final words to the mirror…

“You must now set me free”

 

All time a reflection

—of what’s never to be

 

(Dreamsleep: August, 2019)

 

 

Imprisoned

 

In the commercial age,

money captures time

 

Depleting awareness

—a prison unto itself

 

(Dreamsleep: August, 2019)

 

 

 

Neither Borrower Nor Lender Be

 

The past is left in mourning,

the future still unknown

 

The present disavows them both,

not borrowed—never loaned

 

(Dreamsleep: August, 2019)

 

 

Disavowed

 

Neither left wing nor right

conservative or liberal,

he goes about his day

 

Living outside the parameters

of deception,

hell in heavens way

 

While living as dead

he vanquishes time,

each moment present now

 

Defying your judgment

refusing to choose

—all limits disavowed

 

(Dreamsleep: August, 2019)
