Kurt Philip Behm Poems

Reducing a book
down to one chapter

Reducing that chapter
...

Angels
rejoice
more
for one healed
...

Colors
resplendent
when making
a sound
...

All he had
was his longing
and he shared it
with no one
...

Abeyance

Raging
against the machine
...

Loneliness
trumps anger
as love
wields its sword
...

Apology
not good enough
Intention
still to blame
...

Knowledge of the future
memories of the past
Caught within a final vacuum
dissipating fast
...

He wanted to be
around clowns
but never wanted
to be happy
...

Verbal Foundlings

Free or blank
tomato
...
