The Devil's Ink (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Depravity’s eye

is looking back

its eyelid heavy

its pigment black

 

A twisted image

as yet profane

A sinner’s focus

of sharpened pain

 

Depravity’s eye

will never blink

With tears of sorrow

the devil’s ink

 

Forever watching

the future past

Its vision poisoned

—by judgment cast

 

(The New Room: July, 2023)

 

 

Aeternum

 

Never

let reality

kill a good fantasy

 

Never

let the moment

be captured in time

 

Never

let decision

trump a new instinct

 

Never

say never

—forever sublime

 

(Dreamsleep: July, 2023)
