An Orphan's Silence Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

An Orphan's Silence



I hide in the shadow
of another's fear
so the voice may go away

And then left
inside an orphan's silence
to recount every wordless day

To walk a path
that another breaks
under a dark forbidden sky

Crying those tears
by another made
—my pen bereft and dry

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April,2015)
