Mute Soundings (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Trapped in between the lyric

and music

Wandering in a rhythm

of lost expectation

Blaming each note still unplayed

and unwritten

The echoes distend

in a moment’s undoing

 

Hearing a chorus

when no choir is present

Voices imagined

to sing my sequester

Wandering aimless

through scores of abandon

Harmony denied me

—nightmarish and deafening

 

(Dreamsleep: May, 2023)

 

 

Ode To Kant

 

If time is a prior assumption

—all else falls into line

 

(Villanova University: May, 2023)
