Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

Tears Wait

Soulless
Dissected
A heart turning back
Jilted
Rejected
Last stab in the back
Mourning
New morning
The day unatoned
Nighttime
The verdict
Whose sentence disowns
Lovers
And lizards
The swamp but the same
Feeding
On hunger
Starvation the game
Cursing
 each blessing 
with heartache reset
Dying
While living
— new tears wait unwept

(The New Room: January, 2024)
