The Rudest Awakening

Kurt Philip Behm

The dead are tired,

the living go on

 

Breathless and timeless,

all energy gone

 

The dead left to wander,

betwixt and between

 

Finality’s heartbreak

—the end of the dream

    forgive my rudeness, dear poet
    but let me just frankly state: You're F'in: Awesome!
    'Breathless and timeless
    betwixt and between
    the living go on
    all energy gone'
    'The dead left to wander
    —the end of the dream,
    Finality’s heartbreak
    The Rudest: Awakening'..
    Amen!
    (I'm sorry for rudely rearranging your lines, my friend
    as usual I can only beg you to forgive
    my indulgent - overzealous nature: 'personally, I blame it
    on the quality of your ever-Insightful, Poetry)

    Kurt
