A Hard Rain (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

A victim

of words

and casualty

of what time

 will avow   

 

Dylan

in white face

the old

and the new

— his music enclouds

 

(Highway 61: October, 2025)

 

 

 

Triage Verdad

 

Writing

 the only suture…

when truth starts to bleed

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)

    Good words about some good music both so closely related. Well done Kurt

  • Tristan Robert Lange

    Kurt, this reads like a blues confession...Dylan’s ghost humming in the margins while truth drips slow through the years. You’ve written music for the scar. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

      Thanks TR. I saw Bob in 1964 at the Cafe Wha and put money
      in the hat as it was passed around. My girlfriend and I hitchhiked
      up the Jersey Turnpike through the Holland Tunnel to get there from
      Philadelphia.
