First Breath Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

First Breath

Rating: 2.5


Jumping in
I shut both eyes
my heart lay open wide

A first hello
my last goodbye
to logic ill applied

Choosing an entry
frees all to move
the first breath to a song

Getting out
my mind rejects…
forever pushing on

The ending shatters
once breaking through
as time cuts loose its grasp

That first step forward
past my fear
—a die forever cast

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September,2018)
