Hades Train

Kurt Philip Behm

There’s a place

in time

of no return

where you’re destined

for the end

 

A ride

straight down

with no reverse

to break

no longer bend

 

A final stop

on Hades

train

where devils

wait in line

 

With all

new couplets

in the flames

and nothing

— left to rhyme

    Good lord nothing left to rhyme that would be hell indeed. Another good one Kurt

  • Tristan Robert Lange

    This reads like the final boarding call etched in flame. That closing line, “and nothing / — left to rhyme”, sealed it like a tombstone. Bleak, bold, and brilliantly executed, Kurt.🌹👏
