Kurt Philip Behm Poet Free verse

The Mountainous Roar

If consciousness were to exist
  beyond the self

What opinions 
  might it change

Can something exist outside 
  its space

Can something be something 
  it’s not

Is time the new slave 
  to the master it birthed

Can the end
  be started again

Can the future or past
  exist on their own

Can the present
  be something that’s both

Can you believe what the facts 
 will disprove or disclaim

With reflection beyond logic
  and guilt

Can you teach what you’ve learned
  in spite of yourself

Can your silence
   —tame the mountainous roar

(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2016)
