Poems from Kurt Philip Behm
The raw material of art
is pain
The grandest illusion of all
is time
Whether parchment, canvas,
melody or stone
Each breakthrough immortal...
Truth doesn’t have an owner

Time the great jailor
its prison precast
A graveyard of victims
in temporal loss
Destiny...
Hearing the word
speaking the word
Often quite different
—often the same
(Dreamsleep: March, 2023)
