Kurt Philip Behm

Abandoning The Watchtower

Dylan got bitten

hard by fame

and though wounded

continues to tour

 

A thundering

majesty

in makeup and veils

jesters by the score

 

Divorced from

his wandering

a pilgrim of dreams

the past too great a cost

 

A caricature

of genius gone

eyes clouded over

—Camelot lost
