Three Thoughts For 11/2/2018 Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Why

Why is it
When people are
Telling you
That you
Shouldn't,
You better not,
And don't…
That you most
Feel like you
Have to,
Need to,
And will

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September,2014)

Here Not There

Where I am
is where I will always be

Where I will always be
—is where I am

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September,2014)



Juctim Tamquam Unum

When one man is cut
every man starts to bleed

When one man is healed
—all men become as one
