Damnation's Buffet

Kurt Philip Behm

Death came to feast

on pride and ill intent

 

Leaving only bones

—the marrow sucked dry

    Well said, Kurt.
    Pride is killing us.

  • Kurt Philip Behm

    Amen, the deadliest of the 7 deadly sins...

  • L. B. Mek

    just know, I favourited for the title - alone
    (indeed - sadly, wise Poet
    celebrating all the things I lack, to affirm
    that ego thwarting, anchor
    I cherish most: as my fortitude of humility)
    an important message/lesson, Kurt
    thank you
