Yesterday's Song

Kurt Philip Behm

Losing connections one by one …

my mind has drifted back 

This moment caught within a cloud  

the past sharp as a tack

 

I reminisce in present tense

new frames of reference gone

With that most recent going dim

but still—I hear that song   

 

(Bryn Mawr Hospital: March, 2023)

 

 

Verse 20

 

Old enough to reason

young enough to care

My heart eloping with my mind

mustard seeds to share

 

Adding to the zeitgeist

new bricks within the wall

Laying rhythms one by one

—heeding fortunes call

 

(Villanova University: March, 2023)
