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)

You could be writing about me here, Kurt. Self isolation is a by product of rejection. We tend to shy away from all relationships once we have been played. I truly love your work. With succinct wording you always say so much.
