The Passing Bell

Kurt Philip Behm

Not living

longer

but dying

slower

The chemo

dripping

death’s shadow

appears

 

Each moment

fringed

with a joy

ill censored

The countdown

has started

whose bell

— is near

 

(Dreamsleep: August, 2025)

    I have seen too much of this and too many bells. Well done Kurt
