Kurt Philip Behm
Improvisus
A jazz musician
wonders back
to his days at the keyboard…
each note over practiced
until melody pure
and magic releases
A poet in laurels
wonders back
to his primers and notepads…
each word placed in order
until imagery calls
—and syntax digresses
(Villanova University: October, 2021)

Call Of The Lute
I lived to find silence,
chasing hither and yon
till morning turned inward
reaching deeply beyond
Now firmly embedded
inside of myself
my eyes turned away
—from what’s spoken unfelt

Mourning Dove
The music of passion…
it comes from within
Untouched by tomorrow,
it lives to begin
In corners of darkness,
through fits of despair
It waits like a songbird
—to sing out a prayer
(Dreamsleep: October, 2021)

Breakaway
I look upon the angry ice
and men that prowl its form
to stab and poke in rich delight
a chance to ride the storm
With blades on fire and sticks held high
they weave and crash as one
in search of that elusive net
—still guarded and unwon
(Dreamsleep: October, 2021)

Deeper Roots
To bloom
where you’re planted
Flower
on the sill
Magic
with each budding
Forever
—and until
(The New Room: October, 2021)

Too Little / Too Late
What did it cost but regret,
what did it take but denial
What did it bring but despair
—what in the end was worthwhile

'False Witness'
Religions embedded,
division commands
which savior, which heaven,
epistles in hand
Devotion to difference,
each split ever wide
one bible three meanings
—all preaching a lie
(Dreamsleep: October, 2021)
