Kurt Philip Behm Poems

If consciousness were to exist
beyond the self

What opinions
...

Age now walks beside me,
a reminder of the past

Not a shadow or a mirror,
...

As days split off
and drift away,
their dreams remain with me
...

Will you
Or won't you,
Can you
Or can't you,
...

Democracy is messy,
thank God that it's not

Tyranny once embedded,
...

Loving one woman…
a joy unto heaven

Loving two women…
...

Mankind Alone

Reality…
humanity's myth
...

What you ask me to deny,
I in many ways affirm

The truth will not belie
...

Life was born in the desert
but death came out of the sea
walking on all fours, breathing the air
—killing that never to be
...
