Nighttime Has Answered Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Nighttime Has Answered



Will the words come,
will the words go

Are they forever,
how do I know

What do I think,
what do I feel

Memory escapes,
a spoke off the wheel

Written in blood,
spoken in rhyme

Forever to echo,
forever sublime

Daffodils scatter,
a wolf howls at bay

Nighttime has answered
—I kneel and I pray

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February,2016)
