Madame

Kurt Philip Behm

She was often better

but never good

Her virtue tainted

misunderstood

 

Her nights a mystery

each day in shame

The rumors spreading

each one to blame

 

The men who knew her

that man who left

Impassioned bookends

of time bereft

 

She was often better

 yet often worse

Each day repeating

—tomorrow’s curse

 

(Dreamsleep: May, 2023)
