The Devil Laughs Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

The Devil Laughs

Rating: ★5.0


An arrow from the darkness…
rejection finds its mark

The sharpened edge of jealousy,
its point straight through the heart

The bow retracts in shamefulness,
its string left slack and loose

One shot was made, a cursed fate
—the devil laughs anew

(Dreamsleep: February,2020)
