Kurt Philip Behm

Blues Poem #17 (+1)

A lotta times

it ain’t good

and it ain’t bad

— it’s what it is

 

(Blue Front Café: August, 1969)

 

 

Eternity Burns

 

Apocalypse kindles    

relighting the fire

Malignant denominators

melt from above

Savior disdained

pontificate’s stain

Tomorrow endemic

— in nuclear love

 

(The New Room: March, 2024)
