And They Leave Us Alone...

Kurt Philip Behm

Wannabees always seem to know

who the really tough guys are

Their carriage indefinable

 though marked by every scar

 

The pheromones of conquest

 carried by the chosen few

Who rumble through the tallest grass

—swallowing what they chew

        Brilliant!
        dear Poet
        forgive me, i couldn't help
        but try and scribble a little
        poetic reply..
        (Praying Mantis
        in words and deeds, but
        each of them swears, they
        were born as angels
        which unveils the question
        is it their life's
        tall green, horizons
        that curates magnetic attraction, in-to
        retrospective beginnings, to devastation..
        funny
        through it all, victims
        seem to simply, be grateful
        for the relief, like
        surrendering to that inevitability
        of cyclicality's, addictively vicious
        cruelty..)

        Yes, the inevitability of fate...

        Thanks LB.
