Kurt Philip Behm

Dark Symbiosis

You look at me

and all feeling is absent

without understanding

or care

 

Calling me brother

remaining a stranger

defined by the

distance we share

 

Caught in the fury

of loves abandon

You wander inclement

storm raging inside

 

A ghost in the mirror

a twin of reflection

Two eyes that stare coldly

— across the divide
