No Kiss On The Mouth Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

No Kiss On The Mouth



The hooker had saved a piece of herself,
a part kept new not old

As pure and pristine as a fresh running stream,
never bartered, never sold

The johns came and went, the money got spent,
each trick relined with pain

But in one sacred place, her past is erased
—where sun blocks out the rain

(The New Room: December,2021)
