Bloodletting (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Real poets don’t make lasting friends

they shun fraternity

Their truth like gritty sandpaper

abrasive when intoned   

The reader may be gratified

with what the words uncover

More likely though the pain involved

— will cut them to the bone

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)

 

 

Legacy Awaits

 

Poetry

secured in beauty …

carved high in a tree

Branches

spread and offer cover

of your history

Winter

comes and bares the promise

Spring will shade anew

Seasons

in the bark awaiting

— progeny to view
