Stepford Ice

Kurt Philip Behm

‘Normalcy’

has its

depression

built in

 

Mundane

and ill formed

life hiding

from sin

 

Each day

like the former

unseasoned

and bland

 

With time

in the freezer

hope frozen

— and canned

    The eerie tale of The Stepford Wives dredged up in your title, this charmingly pretty number neither denies nor confirms the chilling association. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.
