sour song

Musical lyrics order my brain
follow the rhythm to manage the pain

Lighten the load of bricks in the pile
building on memories, won't reconcile

Haphazardly stacked they rob sanity
ordered and patterned, salvation they'll be

I'll lay them around me in garden-like rows
as they're prancing and dancing and stopping to pose

Lovely arrangements enliven the tune
swirl over sharp corners softened, but soon

The very refrain that first made me grin
blocked out by new layers, it's closing me in

Does the melody linger on? (NJ)
