Ancient Voices Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Ancient Voices



All bareness forgiven
the razors gone dry

The excuses all shaven
no more asking why

A soul once abundant
my face starts to fill

No sentence redundant
no lines to go shrill

New destiny chosen
man's burden unsung

The look becomes learned
masculinity sum

All chains have unshackled
a face that goes deep

A beard now awakens
—ancient voices that sleep

(Villanova Pennsylvania: October,2015)
