Kurt Philip Behm

Last Feather (+2)

The arrow of time,

fired over and over

 

Piercing our consciousness,

impaling our fear

 

Our bow staying drawn,

till the quiver is empty

 

Last feather to soar

—on eternity strung

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2020)

 

 

The Core

 

Consciousness…

foundation of the universe

 

Awareness set in motion

—building block of time

 

(Dreamsleep: January, 2020)

 

 

 

The Harder Problem

 

The left hemisphere believes in God,

the right hemisphere does not

 

That physical split within the brain,

what we are and what we’re not

 

Temptation and judgment at war with themselves,

all battles inner fought

 

Confusion to reign, contradiction in charge

—a zero sum rehaut
