Can You / Will You (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Can you trust

if not equal

 

Can you hate

if not shown

 

Can you love

without taking

 

Can you have

—but not own

 

(Ardmore Pennsylvania: February, 2018)

 

Unbranded

 

A mustang of denunciation

—maverick of words

    Very apt questions and poetically expressed Kurt - - a powerful read.

    I just love your 'intellectual' poems, Kurt, they make one think. On the first one I don't know if you want answers to your questions, or if you just want to make the reader ponder these questions.

    'Unbranded' is such a clever play of words!

    • Kurt Philip Behm

      Thanks Fred. There really is no one answer. I just want to
      leave the reader with the questions.

      You're very perceptive as usual. My philosophy school training
      gives me away 🙂
