To Torch And Burn Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

To Torch And Burn



Masquerading in a church full of dreams,
all parishioners in their pews

The preacher straightens his mask and starts,
a sermon old renewed

Hellfire and brimstone come roaring out,
words to torch and burn

His face staying hidden as the nightmare unfolds
—the congregation's dreams left spurned

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February,2020)
