The Old Woman Says... Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

The Old Woman Says...



"You've got more past than future, "
she said without a smile

"The hours lost will not rewind,
your pendulum beguiled

"You've got more past than future, "
the hag said one last time

"Your legacy a broken spring
—whose clock no longer chimes"


(Valley Forge Memorial Bell Tower: March,2021)
