Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

That Final Thing

Beyond genius
  the spirit flies
Beyond genius
  the mood decries
Beyond genius
  no courses rowed
Beyond genius
  all time disowned
Beyond genius
  the map refolds
Beyond genius
   a world untold
Beyond genius
  the critics gasp
Beyond genius
   no serpent asp
Beyond genius
  the telling stops
Beyond genius
  no on—then off
Beyond genius
  all sight and sound
Beyond genius
  the square is round 
Beyond genius
  no lies are told
Beyond genius
  what’s new is old
Beyond genius
  the heavens sing 
Beyond genius
  —that final thing

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2015)
