Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

Lamb Off the Altar

The birthmark of Satan
a spherical star
Old curse in the distance
new devils at war  

His prophecy stolen
the markings of Cain
Madonna the virgin
rebirth unattained 

Melody of darkness 
blasphemies hymn
The garden left burning
original sin

Tomorrow in mourning
this moment on fire 
The lamb off the altar
—redemption expired

(Dreamsleep: May, 2023)
