Leaving Again (+2)

Kurt Philip Behm

We’re born,

as we start dying

 

We change,

while remaining the same

 

We search,

neglecting to find

 

We return

—while leaving again

 

(Ronald McDonald House-Phila: January, 2020)

 

 

 

Death's Tribute

 

With memory escaping,

 you stare down the hall

 

From that place where you hang,

 last nail in the wall

 

You once were a sovereign,

you used to be real

 

What death left in tribute

—your portrait conceals

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2020)

 

 

Future Bought

 

A PhD in emotion and feel,

licentiate of what lives within

 

Professor of imagery, doctor of will,

a Saint with a penchant for sin

 

Explorer of evil with devils to hunt,

the fire burns liquid and hot

 

Degrees of atonement, diplomas unread

—graduate of words future bought

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2020)
