The Last Chant Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

The Last Chant



The one answer left to me
is captured in verse

Old roadmap destroyed
old play unrehearsed

The light becomes blocked
as it shines from without

Its story an old one
its warmth left in doubt

The road to this moment
paved over in verse

Its bedrock a question
an inner rebirth

My eyes closing tightly
the last chant has begun

Past-future in ruins
as within—I become

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June,2018)
