Kurt Philip Behm

Dark Itinerant (+1)

Wafting in the unmistakable scent

of poor choices

Grifting in the prodigal valley

of mistakes

Loitering in the tenement

of false witness

Wandering along the highway

—of forgotten dreams

 

(Dreamsleep: September, 2023)

 

 

1967

 

Swallowing

lightning

Teasing

the bear

Dharmic

illusions

Circling

a square

 

Trapping

a rainbow

Embracing

the clowns

Rewriting

language

Up

getting down

 

Stripping

the moment

Wishes

that fly

Summer

of love

Timeless

 goodbyes

 

Alice

returning

Virtuous

sin

Lost

in the rhythms

Buried

—within
