No Curtain Call

Kurt Philip Behm

As we age

death

reclaims us

Stealing

our youth

and then our hope

 

In the ground

where

memories rot

Willing us

nothing

—but the dark

 

(Dreamsleep: August, 2023)

    That last stanza is eerily exact. And for sure it does reclaim but I propose that w proper vigor and commitment you can use and wear diem every ounce of your youth all by yourself. The Reaper gets what’s left but when my youth provided me options I danced with all to squeeze out the PRIVLEGE I always like your stuff and your angular view.
