Elba Blues Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Elba Blues



That unshared secret…
a crawlspace of denial
where shadows keep your heart at bay,
lonely all the while

To hide in darkened corners,
as falsehood lends its smile
your mind left cramped—all virtue tramped,
banished and exiled

(Dreamsleep: September,2020)
