Kurt Philip Behm Poet Free verse

Trailing Regret

Retracing my steps …
picking up the pieces
of a misguided past
Cleaning up the memories
that so litter my
attention
Given one more chance
to change
the things I never intended
Given one last chance
to right the wrongs
—of my prodigal ways

(Dreamsleep: March, 2023)

Daniel Turner March 12, 2023 at 11:48 AM I feel this one, Kurt. Im glad its in the past where it belongs but I too sometimes look back. Looking through hindsight, it always looks different than it did at the time. Too bad wisdom is born of time. Kurt Philip Behm March 12, 2023 at 12:00 PM Glad it resonated. Thanks
