Kurt Philip Behm Poet Free verse

In the Wine

I offered up my truest and best love  
  for you

Leaving wishes on the altar     
  for everyone else

A first and last supper combined    
  into one

Judas getting fat from a promise    
  denied

Starved within the memory of a feast     
  uneaten

My bread forever disappearing       
  in the wine

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2016)
