Don't Look Down (+1) Poem, by Kurt Philip Behm, at My poetic side

Do you become

famished

before you get

hungry

Do you become

smitten

when being

alone

Do you become

distant

once over

the target

Do you become

vagrant

though always

at home

Do you become

younger

with wrinkles

upon you

Do you become

foreign

while taking

the pledge

Do you become

angry

and lost

in your garden

Do you become

tempted

when nearing

— the edge

(Dreamsleep: September, 2025)

and the ball seems to find you”
