Kurt Philip Behm

Reentering

He shed his ego

Like a snake letting go

Of its skin

And wandered into

The land of

Ill intention

And the darkness

It harbored inside

 

His mirror had been shattered

There—left on the ground

Pieces to reflect

What was missing before

Until one after one

Each bad wish was contained

Prismatic

—light reentering again
