Zero Balance (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Once spent …

there’s no tomorrow

 

Once spent …

all time is rife

 

Once spent …

your fortune tendered

 

Death’s currency

  • —is life

 

(Dreamsleep: December, 2023) 

 

 

In The Wings

 

There’s knowledge

in the world

for only

the captive

 

Insight

on the other

hand

prescient to roam

 

No ceiling

to happiness

but a floor

to sorrow

 

Direction

a vagrant

that goes

where it goes

 

Spoken

in cadence

our oaths

are rechanted

 

Carrying

voices

through moments

on loan

 

Traveling

together

in blind

expectation

 

Questions

awaiting

in freedoms

—unknown

    I love the poems you write. If you read my other comments, you'll see adjectives repeated. Powerful, economic use of words. Man, this is great stuff!

    You made my day, Buzz.

    Thanks again.
