Deaths Twins

Kurt Philip Behm

The friendly enemy,

or enemy friend

 

What matters the difference,

or need to pretend

 

Either stabbed in the front,

or knifed in the back

 

The wound just as fatal,

in either attack

 

Blood given freely,

or blood taken dark

 

Veins running empty,

leading back to the heart

 

To face it undaunted,

or preyed from the rear

 

Deaths twins will approach,

—on the tip of one spear

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)

 

          If

 

If wishes were dreams,

—eternity could sleep

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2017)

    Your poems are so poignant... they keep you thinking and reflecting... no nature stuff here, but raw really in verses. Excellent!

      hearing from you.
