Kurt Philip Behm Poet Ballad

Avatar Queen

Avatar Queen
The mask or the screen
What’s never to know
What’s never to see

Avatar Queen
Your name to mislead
One more cryptic posting
That always deceives

Avatar Queen
Both petty and preened
The bees in your bonnet
Its stinger unclean

Avatar Queen
You know what I mean
With feelings all borrowed
And vistas unseen

Avatar Queen
The sourest cream
No reason to wish
All hope dressed in green 

Avatar Queen
Your anger unweaned
My answer then sharp
My rapier clean

Avatar Queen
Not to sleep or to dream
Your nightmare awoken
In daylight you scream

Avatar Queen
One curse washes clean
Your blessings defaced
No chance to redeem

(Dartmouth-Hanover New Hampshire: July, 2016)
