Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

Only As Sacred

You want to define poetry,
  behind the safety of your bars

Open the door to your cage,
  a world awaits, where feathers tar

Dusty journals and ‘how-to’ books,
  no longer serve you here

One price of admittance,
  the acknowledgement of fear
 
With words only as strong 
  as the impression they leave,

And feelings only as sacred,
 —as memory retrieves

(Seattle Washington: March, 2017)
