Memory's Black Hole (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

That vacuum

inside you

once in it

you’re trapped

Insular

nothingness

too late

to look back

 

What’s empty

imprisons

no reference

in space

Where freedom

and choice

become duly

— erased

 

(Dreamsleep: June, 2025)

 

 

The Holy Warrior

 

Through all

of his failings

and all

of his faults

His memory

redemptive

his conscience

set free

 

Through all

of the battles

and all

of the scars

His soul

still a virgin

his heart

— is pristine

 

(Dreamsleep: July, 2025)

  • sorenbarrett

    Kurt this philosophical enigma merits a fave. Very cleverly written in good rhyme it lays out the impossibility of free choice in a vacuum of ignorance. Loved it

    Clever write, highlighting that for many through their own ignorance freedom was never an option, enjoyed the read

  • Kurt Philip Behm

    Thanks so much.
