Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

The Future Clear

Being my number one fan,
  I never waited for applause

Living within my own code
  all reasons fixed on—just because

Being in charge of myself
  the days flowed freely into years

Dying from living too hard
  the past exposed—the future clear

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2018)
