Occam's Retort (+4)

Kurt Philip Behm

Competing infinities,

which one to choose

 

Existential polarities,

exchanging their views

 

Superpositioned,

anthropic in scope

 

The tradeoff endemic,

whose difference elopes

 

Twin parallel universes

push and then pull

 

Existing in quantum,

the vacuum is full

 

Symbiotic in concept,

his razor now sharp

 

As we search for their meaning

—ever lost in the dark

 

(Villanova University: March, 2021)

 

 

 

To The Last

 

Embattled here,

entitled there

One flag still flying,

the smoke-filled air

 

Horizons darken,

as blood runs free

The last man standing

—whose will to be

 

(Villanova University: March, 2021)

 

 

 

Trashed & Burned

 

The fire’s been out for the longest time,

there’s nothing left but ashes

 

A pathway scorched, escape route torched

—where light now sorely passes

 

(The New Room: March, 2021)

 

 

 

Yes-No Continuum

 

Alone while together,

unringing the bell

 

The darkness enlightened,

new silence to quell

 

Permissions refusal,

denial admits

 

The fusion of oneness

—a hit and a miss

 

(The New Room: March, 2021)

 

 

 

The Final Storm

 

I lay dreaming as the yardarms howl with ghosts

  upon the wind,

screaming down: “Your crew is lost, it’s mutiny once more”

 

One voice to dare my choices strong

and shed that bitter sleep,

my past the drowning child of its dark and rocky shoals

 

As tears release and fall like rain the tiller

begs forgiveness,

old memories drift away in fear and sink within themselves

 

The time has come, as fate calls out to man the heavy sails

and chart a course into the swells

—one final storm to brave

 

(Dreamsleep: March, 2021)

    'Twin parallel universes
    push and then pull

    Existing in quantum,
    the vacuum is full

    Symbiotic in concept,
    his razor now sharp

    As we search for their meaning
    —ever lost in the dark'..
    how well I relate,
    this curse called opinion that corrupts and inflames, ensues every widening tethers to unity's dreams..
    your write was a mirror to my thoughts this past week, what a shameful realisation this read has been for me..
    what words of guiding wisdom you choose to share dear poet, I will meditate over this personal holes your words shone light upon.. humbly, I thank you

  • Kurt Philip Behm

    I always look most forward to your insightful and well-reasoned
    commentary.

    Thanks again.

    Kurt
