Why We Must Struggle
by: Kay Ryan

If we have not struggled
as hard as we can
at our strongest
how will we sense
the shape of our losses
or how what sustains
us longest or name
what change costs us
saying how strange
it is that one sector
of the self can step in
for another in trouble
how loss activates
a latent double how
we can feed
as upon nectar
upon need?
