Marking The Secrets

Kurt Philip Behm

Violence deceives 

in the absence of love

 masking a template

that fits like a glove

 

Destruction and madness

call from within

where lies have embedded

in footnotes to sin

 

Violence festers

in spirit deformed

to strike ever constant

those feelings unborn

 

Its petroglyph’s holler

from caves deep inside

marking the secrets

—we most try to hide
