Impaled Again (+3)

Kurt Philip Behm

A sword slices through empty space,

the air bleeding as sutures trace

 

To pierce not once but pierce again,

your breath scarlet, its stain portends

 

A breeze sharpens—all time erupts, 

seasons hemorrhage and flow corrupt

 

The wind incited—torn by pain,

truth the loser, impaled again

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2019)

 

 

 

Incarceratus

 

Letting his past

 determine his future

 

Old voices in charge

—all memory in pain

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2019)

 

 

To Paul & John

 

Popular music,

and popular verse

 

Their power intrinsic,

listeners search

 

Beyond even Mozart

and Longfellow’s rhyme

 

A gift to the masses

—in presents of time

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2019)

 

 

Visceralis Veritas

 

Can you see that it’s true,

but not prove what you know

 

A problem physicists

and philosophers share

 

Hints all around,

results to confound

 

As the questions unanswered

—ensnare

    Kurt,

    • “To John & Paul”
    A special poem for two special musicians! I’ve been fortunate enough to see a live performance by Paul...a magical experience! Unfortunately, never saw John performing live! Imagine if I had!!!
