Wastelands Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Wastelands

Do I think
you can silence a poem
In a word
the answer is NO

Do I think
you can bridle a passion
You'd be better served
melting a stone

Do I think
you can marry tomorrow
Still married
to yesterday's pain

Do I think
you can joyously wander
Locked in step
— with the devil again
