Words Of My Reluctance

Kurt Philip Behm

Her book was disturbing,

in an antiseptic kind of way

 

Cleansing words of their reluctance,

periods gone—commas laid

 

       “Tribute To Joan Didion’s

     ‘Slouching Toward Bethlehem’”

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2017)

    Haven't read her book, but am in awe of your writing.

    • Kurt Philip Behm

      It's a really good book, and if you were born before 1950,
      a great book.

      🙂

      Thanks, Fred

      Kurt
