The Reach (+3)

Kurt Philip Behm

How close can you get to the horizon,

how far can infinity feel

 

How near can you get to the distance,

that pulls, but then never reveals

 

(Dreamsleep: May, 2020)

 

 

To Look Back

 

Before success,

the work had more meaning

 

Before success,

with nothing to fear

 

Before success,

all floor and no ceiling

 

Before success

—the mirror was clear

 

(Dreamsleep: May, 2020)

 

 

 

In The End...

 

Blue Collar—White Collar,

choking the same

 

Their difference endemic,

as time casts its blame

 

(Dreamsleep: May, 2020)

 

 

 

 

Which Rose

 

What’s in a title,

what’s in a name

 

What does it matter,

praise—or to blame

 

(Dreamsleep: May, 2020)

    Kurt,

    Your scripted ā€˜Dreamsleepā€™ thoughts are truly sobering...
    to say the least!

    Thank you for sharing your pen with your readers.
