"Thou Shalt Not ..." (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

The world is not driven by greed

it’s driven by envy …

Commandment 10 is carved in stone

positioned at the end

Where old injunctions miss their mark

a covetous reminder

Desirous of another’s place

—the devil painted green

 

(Dreamsleep: March, 2023)

 

 

To Lady Day

 

Bars of misfortune

singing dark memories

 

Nightmares once stillborn

—beguiling again

 

(Dreamsleep: March, 2023)
