First Cut The Deepest Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

First Cut The Deepest



I used the language to my own end,
never respecting rules or laws

I wrote what seemed the shortest path,
between feelings and my thoughts

I thumbed my nose at sage advice,
knowing what I wrote was true

The first cut then—the first cut now,
the deepest through and through

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August,2017)
