In Theory & Myth

Kurt Philip Behm

We live

on the edge

between fact

and uncertainty

 

The ground

at our feet

always changing

with time

 

The crack

ever widens

in theory

and myth

 

Rewriting

our history

in memory

— unrhymed

    Beautiful Kurt but I'm so caught in writing poem my history is often rhymed

    • Kurt Philip Behm

      Thanks, as the gap widens it's tougher to rhyme. Children do it best.

      • sorenbarrett

        You are most welcome Kurt a child's mind is open.

        Oh, I could sit with this thought for a while, Kurt. The older I get, the less convinced I am that the borders between what we know, remember, and believe are nearly as clean as we'd like them to be. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

        Amen to that.
