Kurt Philip Behm

Baptism\'s Fire (+1)

 

The road to paradise

begins in hell

 

If you long for peace

—embrace the war

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2023)

 

 

Vegas Underground

 

Distinction

without difference

 

Where shadows

defame

 

Laughter

without smiles

 

Embodied

in shame

 

Each story

redundant

 

Whose print

stays uninked

 

As eyes

search for mercy

 

That last

—missing link

 

(Las Vegas Boulevard:  February, 2023)
