Lost In The Moment (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Has beens

and hopefuls

Poseurs

and scribes

Wings of

detachment

Losers

and lies

 

Fated

direction

Choices

on file

Lost in

the moment

Destiny’s

— child

 

(Dreamsleep: December, 2025)

 

 

 

Poetic Triage

 

Today a Poet needs to cast

a hook with many tines

To reel in those who’re lulled to sleep

with cautionary lines

 

These days a Poet needs an edge

much sharper than before

To cut through all the excess flesh

— and save the metaphor

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2018)

    Destinies child comes from an immaculate birth. The second poem speaks with too much truth to be politically correct Kurt. I have experienced it. Well written both of them

  • Tristan Robert Lange

    The last one really speaks to me. Too true! Well done on both of these, Kurt! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
