Alleviate

A Poem

The scars have formed their own
idea of a chorus
the stinging refrain of memory
attached to the relief
& the accident & the constant
assault
But then when sleeping
when everyone should be asleep
taking on a role slipping out of their masks
the pains decide not to halt their advance
& the grass bends
willingly into the shadow
of an alleviation
The trouble is
holding onto the damned thing
