Hell On Retainer (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Confronting

the devil’s lawyer

 destiny entwined

 

Heaven and Hell

in the jury box

fate was on the line

 

The judge

Archangel Raguel

his verdict waits to scream

 

A sentence cast

in fire untold

— to kill the evil dream

 

(Dreamsleep: August, 2025)

 

 

 

Counting Back

 

My Chronology

ages

as my writing

stays young

 

The years

in retreat

as each new song

is sung

 

A number

but unit

of folly

relayed

 

Whose essence

a symbol

of prescience

— in play
