And Nothing At All Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

And Nothing At All



Like wine in storage,
The cellar of my perception ages
Buried deep in its recesses
The past and future abandoned
—time no longer the vintner

Fermenting in the immediacy
Of the chosen instant
And distilling in the perfection
Of the perpetual present
—the moment reopens

Bringing with it everything
—and nothing at all

(Garrett Hill Pennsylvania: January,2014)
