Debt Service (+3)

Kurt Philip Behm

What makes you think

you can mortgage a heartache

 

What makes you think

your payment’s unique

 

What makes you think

your indebtedness special

 

What makes you think

—you can leverage the pain

 

(Dreamsleep: March, 2021)

 

 

 

Disarming The Past

 

With cannons of emotion,

heartache was sunk

 

The future retargeted

—joy on the rise

 

(Dreamsleep: March, 2021)

 

 

 

The Running Stream

 

Prose gets more from poetry,

than poetry from prose

 

Verse a wellspring where phrases drink

—whose waters flow and flow

 

(Villanova University: March, 2021)

 

 

 

War Party

 

Dancing out from the shadows,

our spirits release

 

The night from the day,

fresh paint on our cheeks

 

New fires in the darkness,

where drums beat once more

 

As voices call inward

—their whispering roar

 

(Devil’s Tower Wyoming: September, 1991)
