First Cut The Deepest (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

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
