Liars Configure (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Seventy years…

and what have you learned

Don’t give me facts…

what have you learned

Keep your opinions…

what have you learned

Look into my eyes

—what have you learned

 

(Dreamsleep: November, 2022)

 

 

Virility's Throne

 

The bigger the battle

the greater the man

His future uncertain

his past to command

 

To struggle ennobled

beyond outcome or fate

Godlike in war

—divinity’s mate

  • Bella Shepard

    Dear poet, the questions you ask of 70 years are so very potent, and relatable. For in my 73rd year I ask this of myself almost every day. Each time I can answer myself honestly, I feel I have grown just a little more, and that growth never ends.

      You're right on all counts, Bella.

      Thanks so much.

      Kurt
