Beyond The Divide

Kurt Philip Behm

Downwind of the

Halal Cart

my stomach

starts to growl

 

Foreign smells

have filled the air

my appetite

to prowl

 

Those places

I have yet to go

but memory

knows so well

 

Another life

another time

where Heaven

— sleeps with Hell

 

(The Corner Of 34th & Market Streets: July, 2025)

      Thanks Soren. On my way across Penn's campus, I pass at least 20 of these food carts. The smells
