Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

It's Still There

Rub it
   Itch it
Pick at it
   Scratch it

Doesn't help
   does it?

Ignore it
   Suppress it
Disguise it
   Conceal it

It's still there
   isn't t?

Reshape it
   Disable it
Return it
   Remove it
   
Shred it
   Bury it
Drown it
   Burn it 

It still haunts you
   doesn't it? --

Let it go
   Float away
Come the dawn of
   A new day
