Poetic Triage Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Poetic Triage



Today a Poet needs to cast
a hook with many tines

To reel in those who're lulled to sleep
with cautionary lines

These days a Poet needs an edge
much sharper than before

To cut through all the excess flesh
—that blocks the metaphor

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August,2018)
