Saving Voice (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

A Poet dies

and

the world lives

to mourn

Rereading his

words

a new spirit

is born

 

In paradigms

searching

for hope and

reprieve

His memory

calls out

to those

— who believe

 

(Dreamsleep: May, 2025)

 

 

Paper Tigers

 

Some go

through life

in a sophomoric

zone

 

Knowing about

strangers

while being

alone

 

To ever

quote names

or that face

in the crowd

 

Aggrandizing

self

as their folly

— astounds

 

(Reading Market Philadelphia: May, 2025)
