Siren's Mirage

Kurt Philip Behm

Tomorrow’s lullaby

in footnotes to Dylan

Tomorrow blistering

confronting the sun

 

Tomorrow lingering

while calling your name

Temptation disguising

what’s never to come

 

Tomorrow’s redemption

the present to ransom

Tomorrow in voices

a chorus of ghosts

 

Tomorrow forgiving

each sin of unmaking

Tormenting each moment

—you treasure the most

    Brilliant!
    thank you, dear Poet
    for once again inspiring my little scribble:
    (clock's move back n forth, GMT
    yet we're left trailing tomorrow's
    too invested in yesterday's mirages
    and existence's - mean, defined
    in circumstances delivered to us
    by causality's, deficiencies
    and in each misinterpreted, moment
    we ask if redemption, begins
    with us or happenstance)

    Very kind. Thanks LB.
