Now Due Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Now Due



Blindly spending the
bulk

Of my temporal
capital

Hourly deficits
started to climb

And piled into
notes

I will never
repay

Stored in vaults
that I'll never find

Words lay
uncashed

As I waste even
more

In my attempt to go
back and re-sign

All those debts
left untendered

Never forgiven
now due

That fate
has secured
—and defined

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April,2015)
