Walking The Lines Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Walking The Lines



Blood,
fires from my pen
like a well shot round

14 karat penetration,
mighty wound of
self aggression

Letters,
reducing armies
into a special force

Time dying,
as mortared ink strikes
the page

The raw edge of battle,
...new combatants die,
leaving their mark

Cursive warriors of the
spoken word,
martyred sentinels of a bigger truth,
—walking the line

(Richmond Virginia: December,2002)
