One Last Wish (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

When I think back on all the times that were

—and weren’t

 

My mind rewrites the answers to the questions

—never asked

 

To set the time that’s left on fire

—in joyful hope

 

To rhyme the final ending line

—with one last wish

 

(Bryn Mawr College: January, 2020)

 

 

Yes Plus No Refrain

 

Living between the spaces,

of what never came to pass

 

The light rays self-divided,

the present from the past


Living within the moment,

no time to lose or gain

 

The choices made inversely

—in yes plus no refrain

 

(Rosemont Pennsylvania: January, 2020)

    Kurt,

    Your first couplet is uncannily befitting at this time.

    ā€˜When I think back on all the times that were
    ā€”and werenā€™tā€™


    Iā€™ve been stuck there for a while now. Iā€™m summoning my tiramisĆ¹ to pull me out!
    Itā€™ll take some time, but Iā€™m confident it will happen!

    Thank you for sharing ā€œOne Last Wishā€.
    Reading it confirms much about what Iā€™ve been feeling and thinking lately. Now I have to do something about it!

    ~Laura~
