Shiloh (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Shooting my classmate’s brother

(that war within a war)

I sat next to him at The Point

still targeting him sure

More than blood will flow this day

memory also dies

As honor sells its soul in vain

— each headstone marks the lie

 

(Maryville Tennessee: March, 1999)

 

 

Inception

 

Transmuting the past

denying the future

Reliving the moment

— time after time

 

(The New Room: March, 2024)
