Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

Soren's Trials

Sued three times…
your wrath indicts
Prostate, throat,
and kidney cites 

Each time you threatened: 
“This is the end”
I wasn’t ready,
mistried again

I kept my counsel
and shut you out
The jury hung
to scream and shout

Your will or mine,
it’s zero sum
I still live on
—three verdicts shunned

(In Tribute: October, 2020)
