The Fall Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

The Fall



I happen to be cast a
different way

Molten like igneous
stone

I live on the boundary,
where others won't play

At the edge of the scary
unknown

The chess board on fire,
as the Russian sage smiles

With the questions the same,
only more

All answers now servant,
as I step off the ledge

The fall better this time,
—than before

(Grantham New Hampshire: March,2015)
