What Does It Cost?

what does it cost
to not be wounded
to not admit wounds
to be stoic in mind and flesh
to have dry eyes
to be a ballerina in pain
to be a poet trying
with every inhalation
not to die

the cost is easy to figure
not with math or list
the cost is tomorrow

and all its rude honesty.
