Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

The Hourglass

I wish that I had cared enough,
to mention once or twice

That what I wanted now has changed,
old virtues turned to vice

The past left misbegotten,
and future long disclaimed

The present what I’m running from
—its hourglass in flames

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2020)
