Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

Trapped Within Myself

With words to seal my coffin shut,
I said my last goodbye

To journey down and re-reflect,
on what I said, and why

It’s quiet in my earthen grave,
no light to mark the time

My flesh to rot with bones exposed
—finality unrhymed

(Villanova University: January, 2020)

Eve Roper January 19, 2020 at 2:34 PM nicely said and done.. by that time of death the persons looking at your coffin will reflect with grief of how the last good-bye was maybe ashamed or of joy of your last moments. Kurt Philip Behm January 19, 2020 at 2:49 PM Thanks Eve.
