Home Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Home



At nineteen,
I wanted to live in Colorado

Till that first weekend I spent
in Cheyenne

At twenty-five
I wanted to live in Montana

Leaving Yellowstone,
as Glacier took my hand

At thirty,
I wanted to live in Alaska

Within Denali,
where the Kodiaks roam

But as the years have progressed,
I discovered

All I ever wanted to be
—was home
