Reaching For The Cream (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Have I finally truly said it all

running out of words

Thoughts and feelings too remote

my pen a blunted sword

 

The doors revolve and seasons change

as Winter calls my name

Whose grammar laced with period ends

and fingers stricken lame

 

A final time my eyes shut tight

to fall into a dream

Just one more word—new phrase to grace

reaching for the cream

 

(Villanova University: July, 2022)

 

 

Caging The Snake

 

You first forgive

to then forget

Judgment lost

in past regret

To change the mantra

soul’s unfilled

And cage the snake

—from now until

 

(Freemont Street Las Vegas: July, 2022)
