Kurt Philip Behm Poet Ballad

A Heart Now Taken

I never wanted to own the words,
but only rent them

I never wanted to stay too long,
just not leave early

I never wanted to hear the answer,
and keep the question

I never wanted to give my name,
—a heart now taken

(Train To Dartmouth: July,7: 2016)
