Life Or Death

Kurt Philip Behm

Up or down

 forward or back

 

Polarity ends

 in a panic attack

 

Start, stop

 the stillness portends

 

The middle a wasteland

 lost years of pretend

 

Before or after

 in front or behind

 

Timing entraps

 with the devil’s design

 

Salvation, damnation

 souls to contend

 

To live or to die

 —to start or to end

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2018)

    The attraction to the polar ends (and excess) can be intoxicating—and deadly!

    Thanks for reading, Claudelle

    Kurt,

    You never cease to amaze us with your poetry!

    “ To live or to die
    —to start or to end”

    Decisions...
    Decisions...

    Have a good night!

    ~Laura~
