The Reasons Falter Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

The Reasons Falter



Do you write the words
or do they write you

Are the feelings tattered
or something new

Do you speak in tongues
or in muted silence

Are the moments sacred
or void of credence

Do the questions answer
themselves in time

Do the phrases mingle
but never rhyme

Do the reasons falter
excuse to reign

Do the moments linger
—tomorrow framed

(Newtown Square Pennsylvania: April,2022)
