Pittacium (+2)

Kurt Philip Behm

Labels…

crutch for the unenlightened

 

Support system

for the crippled mind

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)

 

 

Last Bell

 

Senses untamed,

spaces to reign

 

Bodies that die,

spirits to fly

 

Length or by width,

time is a myth

 

Dimension aground,

essence refound

 

Eyes looking forward,

eyes looking back

 

Eyes looking inward,

soul reattached

 

All that was spoken,

providence sings

 

Grand sublimation

—last bell to ring

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)

 

 

The Bricks You Lay

 

Is your house built out of certainty,

are the walls made thin or stout

 

Is your mind filled up with questions,

do you live in fear or doubt

 

Is your spirit free or servile,

is your will unchained or slave

 

Is your heart the trowel you build with,

and love

—the bricks you lay

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)

    Kurt,

    Thanks to you, today I learned a new word.


    I appreciated the three new poems you shared!

    “The Bricks You Lay”
    is especially relatable!
    I’d like to think that
    my spirit is free and
    my will unchained!
