Kurt Philip Behm

Left Behind (+1)

Poetic intention

exceeding my words

Meanings now idle

truth left unstirred

 

Marching unspoken

 Marching unheard

Marching without me

—to march undeterred

 

(The New Room: March, 2022)

 

 

Papilio

 

Wings in abeyance

 motion untracked

 Monarch in shadow

—darkness is back

 

(Dreamsleep: March, 2022)
