Joshua Tree (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Its special indifference

and weathering smile,

reminds every passer

 —its strength and its guile

 

It stands in the desert

alone and unbowed,

to flower in protest

—its nature avowed

 

(Tuweep Arizona: January, 2018)

 

 

Latebat Dolor

 

Cleft palate ill-fated

splitting inside us,

a hidden betrayal

—memory’s scar

 

(Dreamsleep: April, 2021) 

 

 

Tail Of The Dragon

 

Love regrets,

promises return,

comets in mourning

—meteors burn

 

(Dreamsleep: April, 2021)

    'It stands in the desert
    alone and unbowed,
    to flower in protest
    —its nature avowed'..
    I just cherish you love of words, by pointedly choosing 'avow'
    you gift us readers so much opportunity for interpretation
    and ultimately, what greater gift can a Poet: ink

  • Kurt Philip Behm

    Again, very kind words. I appreciate your readings
    very much.

    Kurt
