No Ink From Within

Kurt Philip Behm

You tell me…

the structure gives strength to your writing

 

I tell you…

it’s nothing but crutches in waiting

 

You tell me…

the order brings beginning and end

 

I tell you…

the sequence does feign and pretend

 

You tell me…

the form—the most important of things

 

I tell you…

the message is on Seraphim’s wings

 

You show me…

the prison you’ve build with your pen

 

I show you…

   a cartridge empty—no ink from within
