The Folly

Kurt Philip Behm

Without darkness

sunlight

would be hard

to see


The first

casualty

of blindness

is truth

 

Knowledge

lacking reference

an egg

that won’t hatch

 

As wasted

on the folly

of the young

— is youth

 

(Dreamsleep: September, 2026)

    Well, Kurt...I came for a poem and left questioning sight, truth, knowledge, and age...which is why I love reading your work, my friend. You kept me busy this morning...this is a fave on many levels. And I agree with Soren...a banger! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
