Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

Freedom's Hope Denied

I live in places  
  you’ve never seen

And sleep in nightmares
  you’ve never dreamed

I choose in dimensions
  above either or

Beyond the pain
  you can endure

My memory lapses
  in moments freed

But fate imprisons
  all I see

Escape an option, death allowed,
  but only if I’m willing

To marry freedom’s hope denied
   —and damn my soul’s foretelling

(Flagstaff Arizona: February, 2019)
