Laying Claim (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

The trappings of

a Poet …

or being a Poet

They’re each something

different

remote and distinct

The tweed jacket

wood paneled

image deceiver

Lays claim to what

only

—enlightenment inks

 

(Dreamsleep: January, 2024)

 

 

No Escape

 

A heavy ear

an empty heart

Breathless voice

with eyes that dart

Love forsaken

rebirthing pain

Hope redundant

—lost refrain

 

(The New Room: January, 2024)
