The Gathering Dust

Kurt Philip Behm

Living inside the moment,

Temporal things

Pass me by

On their march to permanence

 

Attached to everything

But themselves,

They stand as false Icons

To a time once lived–then put away

 

A trophy case of remembrance…

Enshrining what was lost

In the gathering

Dust

 

Never rediscovered…

Defining what death means

In the gathering

Dust

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2014)
