Crown On Loan (+2)

Kurt Philip Behm

The Muse in the tower,

whose debt you enthrone

 

Those jewels that you borrow,

—her crown still on loan

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)

 

 

Aberrant

 

How do you reclaim

thoughts that have gone

 

How do you say something

you can’t

 

How do you breathe new life

in your song

 

With words now escaped,

—aberrant

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2017)

 

 

 

 

Blues Speak

 

Bend that reed,

Stretch that chord,

Split that vowel,

—drive home the word

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)

  • Fay Slimm.

    Vital points for us poets to remember in these few lines Kurt.

  • Augustus

    Aberrant can also mean exceptional, like your poetic jewels on loan from God.
