Kurt Philip Behm

Silver Hues

A Hall of Mirrors

 ill conceived

With dark reflections

to deceive

From front or back

and side to side

Each look impounds

what time proscribes

 

Were you looking in

or looking out

When Alice voiced

her final shout

A dozen clonings

a thousand views

The glass your jailer

— in silver hues
