tired
tired from wrestling
clinching, grapples, bumps,
and one thousand holds
tired
tired from night rambles
begrudging but beautiful
one thousand night duties
tired
tired from bureaucratic beat
forms, failures, funding,
one thousand students
One thousand students! That will do it! Okay, you win. You have earned your tiredness. Love the poems, it is a cool idea to list the reasons and turn that into a poem. I really love your writing!
