Poem by R.M. Dolin
Consequential Cost of Love
If I knew you’d get there
before me
I would’ve hurried harder
to catch up
and been a lot less worried
about the consequential cost
of losing myself in love.
From the R.M. Dolin novel, “An Unsustainable Life – The Book of Darwin.” Darwin struggles with his ability to be in love, which he recognizes is different than his capacity to fall in love even if the distinction is difficult to describe. He feels himself falling in love in Anna, but knows he’s incapable of being in love, not with so much to still atone for. September 30, 2025
Written while motorcycle riding in Sardinia, Italy and tent camping beside the ocean.
