A Trillion Souls (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Satan hides

within the shadows

Among your thoughts

his evil trolls

His masquerade

beyond the body

  Feigning silence

inside your soul

 

He takes up space

at God’s indulgence

The part he plays

unscripted low

In brimstone’s fire

he finds acceptance

From prodigals

his demon’s flow

The battle royal

lasts forever

Cast in darkness

waits his throne

To live in shame

while unrepentant

A trillion souls

—one more to go

 

(Dreamsleep: January, 2024)

 

 

 

Fortunate Son

 

Speak the truth

at your own risk

Wager fortune

for just one kiss

Walk the tightrope

of joy and pain

No past or future

—the moment gained

 

(The New Room: January, 2024)
