Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

A Wolf Waits

A Wolf Waits

Early one morning
reason escaped
And prescience went with it
unlocking the gate
Lights in the asylum
flicker and fade
The inmates grow restless
a deepening shade
Evening brought darkness
no stars in the sky
But nobody wondered
no questioning why
The moon simply vanished
a wolf waits to howl
All order disorder
—with thought disavowed

(Dreamsleep: December, 2023) 


Spinning The Cylinder

When does intelligence
turn on its host
Killing the patron
leaving a ghost

Russian roulette
in a game zero sum
Perception reloading
—acuity’s gun

(Dreamsleep: December, 2023) 


Quantum Leap

Life beyond numbers
images reign
Killing all reference 
lost in refrain
Gaming the theory
zeroing out
Counting symphonic
—Angels about

(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)

Hilda Greenhough December 17, 2023 at 10:33 AM Congratulations on three poems in one. Spinning the Cylinder somehow made me think of the A-I robots. Perhaps robots will be pointing a gun. Thanks for great innovation. Kurt Philip Behm December 17, 2023 at 11:29 AM Thanks again, Hilda.
