Never Letting Go

Kurt Philip Behm

We couldn’t survive

each to the other

We couldn’t let go

to live

We couldn’t give

without retaking

We couldn’t express

what we felt

We couldn’t stay quiet

when being together

We couldn’t come back

from the past

We couldn’t forgive

what time had rescinded

We couldn’t remember

— to forget

 

(Woodstock: Summer, 1969)
