The First Law (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

“Things Go From Bad To Worse”

 the Second Law of Thermodynamics

 

“Spirit Is Not A Thing”

 —the First Law of Eternal Life

 

Listening To David Berlinski: April, 2018

 

 

 

Adrift In The Wind

 

There is too much ancestry coursing my soul

 to do me any real good

 

To live in a cave on a deserted island

 my destiny best understood

 

Success once achieved is cast far aside

 its burden to hamper my play

 

Genealogy stalks and preys as it looms

 to darken those brightest of days

 

Each block lay unstacked as I run off again

 my freedom left calling within

 

My soul unattached to the gifts I step over

 —all fame left adrift in the wind

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2018)
