Typing fingers
hold back greif
backspace it lingers
to past beliefs
Answering phones
flashbacks subside
feel it in my bones
a smile, i override
We say our goodbyes
whirlwind of repression
A smile of disguise
a secret depression
Freeway traffic
past in the passenger seat
Still photographic
slam on the concrete.
Another day at work
push away the hurt.
