Living within
quotation marks
my questions there
protected
My ownership
connected
and feelings
— most defined
(Dreamsleep: March, 2026)
The Keys
Shackles
on the future
Handcuffs
on the past
Keys
inside the moment
Freedom
— first and last
(Dreamsleep: March, 2026)
To Die
The enemy
of all that’s good
Perfection
lays the trap
Footprints
circling in the snow
To die
— inside their tracks

Kurt, this is beautifully put…you captured the smoky, late-night feel of the poem perfectly. That sense of memory and loss hanging in the air after the last line is exactly what gives it its weight. Really enjoyed your take here, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thanks TR, very kind.
Most welcome, Kurt!
Excellent.
Thank you, Thomas.
Kurt here are three pieces that speak one protected, one detected and the last perfected. Well done my friend
Poetic words again, Soren. Thank you.
Always my pleasure my friend
