Relief in the Refrain

Slowly erase a trace
Scribble over a date
a name
an idea
No more
A group of smiles replaces
the two frozen stiff
framed by rigid boundaries
A moment captured lies
Buried in the obscure chamber
It echoes
words still hollow
strike a nauseous chord
A chorus of fallacy
With a bridge of collapse
Falling for a date
a name
an idea
No more
Just a swelling sound resurfaces
It’s the sigh of relief
the relief in the refrain
