The Call Of Denial

by Kurt Philip Behm

Nothing

can be its own explanation

 

Nothing

can leave itself

 

Nothing

can give dimension to time

 

Nothing

unsaid is spelt

 

Nothing

is nothing till something becomes

 

Nothing

a word unatoned 

 

Nothing

that last page of unwritten rhyme

 

Nothing

—a temptress unknown

 

(Dreamsleep: January, 2023)
