Turning Black Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Turning Black



To write poetry on the battlefield
is to write poetry from the heart

Words to cover the scars and wounds
grief peeling back like bark

Each verse fired like a rifle
with bayonet attached

Its volley sharpened and to the point
the blood spilled—turning black

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April,2015)
