The poem “Paused a Day” is about the roller-coaster of self-medication and the pain that is the root cause.
Medication paused a day the balm of urge then delayed with a will to live without if only for the briefest time until the need comes again sight unseen to other folks yet more present than concerns voiced for the abstinence when that fix to ease the pain sometimes a scratch or bloody gash demands more than platitudes even as they fill the void between damnation and relief the intermission feeds a hope somewhere past the curative is a life of more control.
