Tokens In Exile

Kurt Philip Behm

Seconds hunger

 days unweaned

compression fracture

broken dreams

 

Minutes uncounted

hours unnamed

 Humptiest Dumpty

in pieces again

 

Yahweh once spoken

reason besieged

tokens in exile

pagans to grieve

 

One for the money

two when it’s shown

oracle harlot

—cursed and dethroned

    Kurt,

    Reading this extraordinarily profound poem you’ve penned makes me cry out, “Why, why, and why so much pain and destruction?”
