Where Pigs Fly Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Where Pigs Fly



The magnitude of ignorance
staggers beyond
the scope of imagining,
a weakening throng

The danger of assumption,
its hard biting edge
empowers deception
shoved over the ledge

The vacuums of denial
we fight to defend
are lost in the moment
pushed out to the end

This emptiness we carry
and knowledge we fear
footnote our destruction
—as fools shed a tear

(Rosemont College: November,2021)
