Kurt Philip Behm Poet Free verse

My Fate Unsecured

Overspending the bulk
  of my temporal capital
 
Hourly deficits climb
  and pile into notes

Debts I’ll never repay
  stored in vaults I can’t find

Words lying uncashed,
  as I write overdrawn  
   
Pledging to go back 
  and re-sign what’s untendered

 I’m unforgiven—overdue,
   my fate unsecured 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2015)
