The Devil's Edge

Kurt Philip Behm

Guarding

our bitters

Each wrong

we have suffered

Enshrined

in our memory

Alive

in our souls

 

Forgiveness

a myth

The weak

will hold onto

Revenge

all the sweeter

Served hot

— and not cold

 

(Dreamsleep: June, 2026) O/L 5-24-2026

 

Like Masks

 

Forget

being clever

abandon

the word

 

Being cute

more offensive

its pander

absurd

 

They serve

as a mask

that we cower

behind

 

To proffer

deception

we harbor

— inside
