A Poet's Eyes (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Seeing — Unseeing

the words drift away

far into the current

of what’s left to say

 

Passing my cortex

and into the void

where blind recognition

awaits to destroy

 

Familiar or foreign

once stopped in their tracks

new meaning escapes

with no looking back

 

The Poet’s eyes squinting

as light filters out

transcendence recaptured

ascendance remounts

 

Through slivering darkness

a vision appears

and mocking the order

old images clear

 

Those words once discarded

reform juxtaposed

through eyes resurrected

— released from the flow

 

(Septa R5: July, 2024)

 

 

Agnostic Nightmare

 

The fear of God

is not as threatening

As the fear

— he might not be

 

(Augustinian Graveyard: July, 2024)

    Well said, Kurt.
    Something with no beginning and no end has always been here and is responsible for everything.

    Amen, Jerry.
