Kurt Philip Behm

Gossamer Wings (+2)

Reciting verse,

each stitch unthreads

Freeing moments,

before unread

The air vibrant,

all seams undone

Tapestry open

—silk re-spun

 

(The New Room: April, 2021)

 

 

 

Cresting The Hill

 

Knowing today is the best day of your life

—a terrible thing to know

 

(To Philip Seymour Hoffman: April, 2021)

 

 

 

Reborn For Today

 

Running away from cancer,

chasing after health

Tomorrow in sight, beyond the twilight,

living—the greatest wealth

 

(St. David’s Pennsylvania: April, 2021)
