That Voice Inside Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

That Voice Inside



I once tried crossing over
a bridge that silence built

And for mile after mile
the quiet maimed and killed

My speech was dumb and dormant
as I bided all my time

In hope of passing through the cracks
the exit doors unrhymed

My life dead on arrival
till a voice inside decreed

To build a frame beneath that bridge
—and set my meaning free

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February,2019)
