Kurt Philip Behm

The Abdicate (+1)

Standard bearer,

above the fray

 

Others follow,

trackless fields

 

Trailing echo’s,

dead and gone

 

Then tomorrow

—tomorrow then

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2020)

 

 

Behind The Veil

 

Hiding in the middle class,

I made my way through life

 

Looking like I had it made,

no struggle and no strife

 

Others couldn’t see it,

as it metastasized inside

 

A terminal metamorphosis

—hidden from your eyes
