Horns Of The Bull

Kurt Philip Behm

Too much honor

kills with impunity

 

The intrepid among us

—perdition surrounds

  • L. B. Mek

    that corrosive impunity of entitlement's, featherweight honor
    amongst the abundance of killer-intent: intrepidity
    where perdition's zeal: as ever, Reigns sinisterly - Supreme...

  • Kurt Philip Behm

    In Hemingway's 'Death In The Afternoon' he talks about too much honor being
    deadly and the 'crossroad' a Bullfighter must face.

    • L. B. Mek

      I'll add it to my reading list immediately,
      I read the sun also rises and his portrayal of
      Festival of San Fermín in Pamplona
      was so vivid, I kinda didn't want to risk tainting it with
      death in the afternoon
      like he wrote, I just wanted that vivid literary gift
      to foerver remain:
      “Isn't it pretty: to think, so.”
