Blocking The Light (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Intelligence

a number …

never a word

 

The writer

a halfwit

till viscerally heard

 

Tomato

tomatto

the pudding unproved

 

Empirical

nonsense

— the spirit unmoved

 

(Dreamsleep: January, 2024)

 

 

Abeyance

 

Without

your heart

open

emotion unspun

 

Without

the right feeling

the words

lie unsung

 

Without

the right words

the

verse to abate

 

The reader

in Limbo

awaiting

—his fate

 

(Dreamsleep: January, 2024)

    Nice work, you halfwit writer you! Very visceral and musical too. Do you have a name for this verse form you use so often? That final foot is always emphatic. Leaves a mark!

    I really don’t have a name but you’re right about the emphasis on them being musical.

    I’m a disenfranchised song writer.
