Coloring In The Spaces Poem by Kurt Philip Behm
Coloring In The Spaces
Rating: ★5.0
Trying to understand
why you marked up your body
—I stared at the ink
The memory of your open promise
still inside of me
—unfulfilled
Retracing that promised memory
with new symbols
—stained forever
You colored in the empty spaces
I was unable
—or unwilling to see
(Villanova Pennsylvania: August,2016)
