Where Evil Would Have Lived Poem by Patti Masterman

Where Evil Would Have Lived



Inside the angels is an emptiness

where evil would have lived;

but was withheld instead-

leaving half the mirror in darkness.


Inside the demon's a kind of hole

where good would have defined

half of the ticking mind-

to constitute a soul.


No soul lives wholly good or evil;

there's only half the requisite

polarity, that there must visit-

to enhance the memory's retrieval.

This is a thought provoking poem that I had to read twice over, but a delightful write.
