For All To Share Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

The Question I Posed ….

If your Poem is still
an open wound

And you stitch it tight
with editing

How…
will it ever bleed free?

(James River Writer's Conference: October,2016)


The Actual Poem ….


For All To Share

My Poem still an open wound,
unstitched by edits snare

Running free on a salted page,
—new blood for all to share

(James River Writers Conference: October,2016)
