Dark Itinerant (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Wafting in the unmistakable scent

of poor choices

Grifting in the prodigal valley

of mistakes

Loitering in the tenement

of false witness

Wandering along the highway

—of forgotten dreams

 

(Dreamsleep: September, 2023)

 

 

1967

 

Swallowing

lightning

Teasing

the bear

Dharmic

illusions

Circling

a square

 

Trapping

a rainbow

Embracing

the clowns

Rewriting

language

Up

getting down

 

Stripping

the moment

Wishes

that fly

Summer

of love

Timeless

 goodbyes

 

Alice

returning

Virtuous

sin

Lost

in the rhythms

Buried

—within
