The Forest & The Trees (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Don’t let the poetry

weaken the poem

 

The structure a servant

—for what’s to be known

 

(The New Room: December, 2021)

 

 

Life Sentence

 

After the diagnosis,

each moment a dream

of years and then months

and days in between

 

After the surgery,

the dream became real

time again captured

—the sentence repealed

    Kurt,

    ā€¢ā€The Forest & The Treesā€
    A befitting title for your
    two couplets.

    ā€¦without the trees, thereā€™s no forest!

    Damn, Kurt.
    That is a dead-center shot.

  • Kurt Philip Behm

    Thanks Jerry
