To Borrow Poem by Kurt Philip Behm
To Borrow
Answering with phrases loaned…
a paradox recalled
The choices, nouns and pronouns,
all verbs to rise or fall
Old questions freed, all doubt besieged,
defined and then dethroned
The power in each chosen word,
to borrow—not to own

This is deceptively succinct, each word carefully chosen and perfectly placed. It flows like a river with a beautiful voice. Well penned!
