Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

My Indulgent Refrain

The better the words 
  formed

The meaner they 
  became

       ‘free and alive
       and stirred from the bottom

       'hidden and denied
       in moments of pain’

Taking on new life
  they glare and they scowl

Staring back from the mirror
  —my indulgent refrain

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)
