Blood On The Rails (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Through struggle

one can justify life

Losing the battle

enhances the view

Blood on the rails

all markings assured

Death as the prize

— recurring anew

 

(The New Room: June, 2025)

 

 

Heard To Whisper

 

There’s a lingering shadow

that follows us all

Counting each breath

each step till we fall

 

Its pall ever darkens

while just out of reach

Its voice heard to whisper

through mountain and beach

 

It sees every moment

both joyous and sad

Recording our journey

the good and the bad

 

And then on that day

when our fate meets the end

Its arms wrap around us

— our very last friend
