A Last Waltz (+2)

Kurt Philip Behm

“I’ve come to the very end of myself,”

the day cried out to the night

 

“My expiration date lined in blood,

tomorrow less than bright

 

“My beginning and ending dancing a last waltz,

destiny writing the score

 

“My wick has burned down, the music has stopped

—too late to ask for more”

 

(The New Room: February, 2021)

 

 

Until Then

 

My Pen…

an extension

of my thoughts

and my prayers,

underlining

my feelings

for others

to share

 

The ink

is my history

its tracks

to begin,

a journey

connecting

what’s now

—until then

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2021)

 

 

 

By Default

 

If nothing can be done

—do nothing

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2021)
