Kurt Philip Behm

In Hoc Momento (+1)

Sitting neither left nor right

but on the different side of things

 

Polarity drifts off

like the ending note in a forgotten song

 

The past and future saying 

one final and lasting goodbye

 

As time becomes a wandering orphan

—and the moment set free

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2020) 

 

 

Storm Warning

 

Markets are strong

as bridges crumble

 

Dividends fly

while highways collapse

 

Earnings per share

define false adoration

 

Gift wrapping burns

—on the last empty box
