Let The Dogs Out

Kurt Philip Behm

Be a Poet ...

stop trying

to become one

give yourself up

to the sound

 

Within your lyrics

are so many

pleadings

 feelings disjoint

and impound

 

Open the gate

and let out the dogs

the last fox

almost over

the hill

 

Scream

if you must

those whispers betrayed

until all that’s been empty

— is filled

    Nicely said Kurt a plea for others to join the crowd. Well done my friend

  • Tristan Robert Lange

    This is both raw and liberating...A call to stop performing and simply let it happen. Beautifully done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
