The Only Cost Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

The Only Cost



Painting myself into an emotional corner
feelings trapped and staid

Family eliminated one by one
old hurts and wounds replayed

Each year a brick in this wall of pain
to shield me from the loss

Isolation my next of kin
—love the only cost

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January,2019)
