Fatigue (opens the original)
Read excerpt
They call it tired,as if sleep could savewhat keeps giving way—as if dawn could draw me backinto a bodyalready leaving.Morning moves.I don’t.My knees know.My bones vote no.Even breath comes thin,a borrowed thingI keep repayingagain and again.I measure lifein almosts.Almost called.Almost came.Almost caught the hourbefore it slippedthrough my hands.The coffee cools.The laundry waits.The sink keeps fillingwith promisesI meant to keep.They think fatigueis weight.
