No Escape (+2)

Kurt Philip Behm

In dark corners of the city,

old shadows are found

 

In dark corners of the city,

premonitions abound

 

In dark corners of the city,

the doors swing one way

 

In dark corners of the city,

your soul becomes prey

 

In dark corners of the city,

where hope goes to die

 

In dark corners of the city

—your dreams say goodbye

 

(Dreamsleep: October, 2021)

 

 

Wishfully Remembering

 

Nostalgia trumps memory

when looking back

 

The bad fading gray

offloading the black

 

Sparse moments of joy

though far and between

 

Now color our feelings

—as red turns to green

 

(Dreamsleep: October, 2021)

 

 

Inside Out

 

The past is a forgotten country,

tomorrow a foreign land

traveling inward I leave today

—free of times command

 

(Dreamsleep: October, 2021)
