Wastelands

Kurt Philip Behm

Do I think

you can silence a poem

In a word

the answer is NO

 

Do I think

you can bridle a passion

You’d be better served

melting a stone

 

Do I think

you can marry tomorrow

Still married

to yesterday’s pain

 

Do I think

you can joyously wander

Locked in step

— with the devil again
