Diamonds & Pearls (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

An Old-Man-Child

in an adult world

Alone in their gather

of cocktails and swirl

 

Again but an alien

as when he was eight

The steps to acceptance

he’s loathe to retrace

 

The pomp and the patter

falls deaf on his ears

Each slap on the back

reinforcing his fear

 

An Old-Man-Child

in an adult world

shunning their presents

—midst diamonds and pearls

 

 (The New Room: June, 2023)

 

Time Lost

 

The smallest possible infinity

divorced from first and last

A black hole caught inside itself

—time lost in future’s past

 

(Villanova University: June, 2023)
