CTRL + ALT + DLT

Have we found what eases pain, it shan’t remain;
yet hardly a memory lingers that might untether,
should even that be erased, p’raps a wound reopens-
it’s angry eye emboldens a spectrum of jumbled feelings:
tangible only in laconic holds we cannot hope to break.

Dear RBK,
I really loved the way you connected computer key functions with real-life emotional experiences in "CTRL + ALT + DEL." It’s such a clever and powerful metaphor—the idea of trying to "delete" or "reset" our pain, much like we would with a computer glitch. The poem beautifully captures how, despite our efforts to control or erase emotional wounds, they often linger and reopen. It’s a fresh and insightful take on the complexity of healing.

Best,
Rolph
