Last Step Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Last Step



Hunting the distant banks
Of one lost remembrance
A reckoning came upon me
Excuses left askance
My tracks grew large
As midnight's table turned
The prey had changed to predator
Of a memory left unlearned

The dark repeating whispers
my soul afraid to tell

Until its breath upon my back
—last step my fear to quell

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December,2018)
