I am used to shouting into fields,
where the only acknowledgement
comes from the nodding of distracted flowers
moved by the whims of the wind.

is that even when you know
what the weight of tired is
down to the ounce,
and are intimately acquainted
with how it grows

the physical dividends
still manage to bring unwilling gasps of pain
even when you know it’s coming.
