A Knight's Ransom (+2)

Kurt Philip Behm

Nobility,

 in debt to all virtue

  —on loan to the truth

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2018)

 

 

 

Slipping Away

 

The notion of time

  a potion sublime

 

A bottomless pit

  the physicists fit

 

Today or tomorrow

  the future or past

 

As your arms wrap around it

 —your hands lose their grasp

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)

 

 

Waiting For Rain

 

Identity,

Born from a kernel of inheritance

Planted deep within a furrow of pain

Growing in the light of new discovery

Reseeding itself

  —waiting for the rain

 

(My Son Trystan & I: May, 2016)

      Lawless: I have a 14 year old Lab (Colby), who has been attached to my hip (chair)
      since he was born.

      I know his days are short, and I'm enjoying every day.

      Kurt

      Kurt,

      “Waiting For Rain”...
      Your amazing word choice for this poem transcends our general understanding of procreation!

      EXTRAORDINARY!
