Double-Edge (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Ambition

is the best pursuit

the road to glory

calls

 

Ambition

is the worst pursuit

that leads to

your downfall

 

Ambition

tames the wildest beast

its jungle free

of thorns

 

Ambition

breeds the deepest hate

your future paved

— with scorn

 

(Dreamsleep: December, 2024)

 

 

Foraging Tomorrow

 

Eating everything

on the menu

Dylan asked for more

 

His hunger

reestablished

leftovers on the floor

 

A bite into

the future

yesterday a whore

 

A meal once paid

forever staid

— new rawness to procure

  

(The New Room: December, 2024)

    A future paved with scorn… much to ponder here but never to pander about things to come…
