Kurt Philip Behm

Jail Break (+1)

Hiding between imprisoned lines,

a fugitive of verse

turning my back on pleadings made,

musings that amerce  

 

The lengthy sentence of my mind,

 fleeing my recall

to leave the spoken word confined

—released to scale the wall

Gypsy Wind

 

The beginning and ending

are easy to see

The middle much harder

and masked by degree

 

It moves and it changes

from angle and scope

To keep you uneasy

—and married to hope
