A Wanton Barter Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

A Wanton Barter



Everyone's life is tragic,
but who calls out the score

The Jester or the Hangman,
the Undertaker sure

Everyone's nights are haunted,
when sleeping with the Muse

Each dream a wanton barter
—your memories to lose

(Haverford Pennsylvania: May,2020)
