The Serpent Is Dead Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

The Serpent Is Dead



Twilight fell onto my
windowsill

Demon fire in full
retreat

The stars above,
glowing pulls on a rug

Woven deep into the blackness
I sleep

Day's grip has now changed,
the cantor sings as he prays

St. Michael cries,
—THE SERPENT UNDONE!

As the sun has now left,
but your dreams not bereft

For only the night,
points to heaven above

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April,2015)
