The Mask

Kurt Philip Behm

Do you synthesize your anger,

do you cauterize the burn

 

Do you anesthetize the wonder,

when your dreams are drugged and scorned

 

Is your judgment tempered badly,

with emotion fiery hot

 

Is your vision colored madly,

by your choices—sold and bought

 

Does your music play reclusive,

do your words fall off the page

 

Does reason kill your last excuse,

—that one mask you can’t explain

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2016)
