Set In Stone

Kurt Philip Behm

Change what you did,

and I’ll change how I feel

You can’t change forever

denying what’s real

The fly’s in the ointment,

the die has been cast

This moment endemic

—predestined to last

    Kurt,

    One of my Dad’s favorite proverbs…
    ‘…il lupo perde il pelo ma non il vizio…’
    (the wolf loses its fur but not its vice)

    ‘ The fly’s in the ointment,
    the die has been cast’

    It’s so difficult to change those feelings. I will forgive; but it’s so hard to forget…no matter how many years have gone by.

    I love the way you wrote this, my dear prolific Poet.

    Thank you for sharing.

    Laura🌻
