The 'Chosen' Ones (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Are we the most enlightened species…

based on what we’ve done

 

A planet raped, all hope betrayed,

our passions zero sum

 

If we’re so smart then why oh why

is getting on so hard

 

Mistakes rekindled, memory flamed

—our spirits burned and charred

 

(Villanova University: August, 2021)

 

 

Motherlode

 

Crack open the vein

and let me back in

The ore of your vision

to mine from within

 

All treasured remembrance

lay fallow unclaimed

Awaiting my entrance

—forever proclaimed

 

(Dreamsleep: August, 2021)
