Death Be Not Imminent (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

The dreams of a soldier…

   dead bodies impound

 

A warrior’s spirit

  his enemy found

 

The battle once over

   a new war to find

 

Though death be not imminent

   —all sleep to remind

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2015)

 

Footnotes Of Pain

 

A book with no cover,

  a man with no name

 

Vowels dormant and muted,

  as consonants reign

 

A plot with no purpose,

  an ending refrained

 

Its message in conflict

   —with footnotes of pain

 

 (Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2015)
