A Mutilated Oneness Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

A Mutilated Oneness



Visionary's promise,
what's never seen

Believers die invested,
in lives that wait

Junctions of immunity,
and sweeter air

A mutilated oneness,
—we call the truth

(West Philadelphia: January,1973)

Very provocative work, sir. I am fascinated by the image of the horizon which a visionary can see, but which so rarely becomes the reality of a destination. The sense that belief can remove us from the moment as we become more invested in the expectation. And the age old question, What is truth? . Tightly woven contemplations worthy of consideration. Thank you!
