Remembering Laura (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Walking South

on the beach

in front of Doral

I heard a woman sing ...

“If you put the man

back in romance

I’ll put the lay

back in lady”

Catching up to her

I asked

where she first

heard the song

She said: “It’s mine

do you like it?

It still

needs more work

I was hoping

this walk

would enchant

or inspire”

At the Fontainebleau

I said: “I do very much

Let me help you write

 the second verse”

 

(Miami Beach: 1982)

 

 

From The Valley

 

In flowering

wishes

a feeling

unfolds

 

A vase

sits awaiting

its love

to arrive

 

Each petal

of hope

in a blossom

untold

 

Till picked

from the valley

of passion

— alive

 

(Dreamsleep: June, 2025)

    Lovely, clever, I've been there, to Miami Beach I mean. Great write with more meaning than I led on to in this comment.
