The Emperor's Tide Poem by Kurt Philip Behm
The Emperor's Tide
Mesmerized by his own success,
swimming naked and alone in the dark
Drowning in what he forever professed,
he rose and fell with each critic's remark
Hypnotized while diving for fame,
he sank while caught in the tide
His pleadings washed up, divested and bare,
exposed—with nowhere to hide
(Crater Lake: October: 2015)
