Kurt Philip Behm

Eternally Instant

The lies are uncountable

with only one truth

tomorrow and yesterday

masks to confuse

 

Behind bars of enchantment

our fantasy hides

programming our psyches

rewriting each lie

 

To hide from the moment

its present refused

whose message eternal

intention abused

 

The mirror a prison

all windows set free

eternally instant

—when choosing to be
