Kurt Philip Behm

Running From The Dark (+1)

Has your life

become an anthem

to those things

that you’ve fled

Did denial

and avoidance

leave you once

in good stead

Can you swear

to the heavens

you had

no other choice

Cowardice

and trepidation

the breath

—in your voice

 

(The New Room: November, 2023)

 

10X

 

Viewed from a distance

—we all fade to insignificance

 

(Dreamsleep: November. 2023)
