"After months of freezing and shivering under a grey sky,
your genuine laugh warmed me at first try,
sparked something in my chest
I hadn't thought it was still in me,
made my hands tremble like a paper boat at sea."
Kurt Philip Behm Aug 2023
Never able to break on through
caught in the time capsule
of yesterday’s tomorrow
he wandered alone …
Searching the darkened streets
of Santa Monica
hearing the music—chasing the words
dancing as demons followed behind
Channeling ancient voices
trapped outside a future closed
to his irreverent questioning
—lost within the storm
