Magna Carta (+2)

Kurt Philip Behm

You once gave to me something,

you now want to take back

 

But its cord is umbilical,

my soul thus attached

 

The title to the future

in invisible ink

 

Bleeding free your reluctance

—inextricably linked

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2020)

 

 

 

Come Early, Come Deep

 

What you first come to learn

when emotions are raw

 

Bakes time eternal,

old men to recall

 

Before holy baptism

and the mirrored decree

 

Lasting impressions

—of what’s meant to be

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2020)

 

 

 

 

Blessings Counted

 

Looking down,

I’ve been so lucky

 

Looking up,

still more to know

 

Fortune smiles,

the road still open

 

Steeper yet

—but blessed to go

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2020)
