The Wait

Kurt Philip Behm

An unmarried girl

in the wilderness

Any hopes of a suitor

are slim

Her virtue unsold

forever braving the cold

She waits for the promise

of him

 

An unpublished poem

in the syllabus

Any pressure to edit

unmoved

The words as they lay

both hunter and prey

To become what the future

— will choose

    Ha! Kurt you have hit it with this one. A pet peeve of mine works that go unread are just like a girl unwed. Nonproductive. Loved it
