A Heavy Shadow Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

A Heavy Shadow

The weight
of what I
haven't done
far outweighs
my past

Those things
left vacant
on the shelf
of what I left
for last

Excuses
linger
as empty
choices
following behind

Reminding me
of what
I'm not
in content
— and in kind

(Dreamsleep: February,2025)
