Applied to Scratch
The itch is less than constant pain
not enough to cause a moan
but always there in misery
asking balm to cure the ill
that static humming on the nerves
stripped to wires sparking hot
the echoes sound at all times
a dirge to state illusion's cast
the glow perceived in manic flush
wishing less than consequence
perhaps the crowds canβt conceive
a state beneath that asks too much
at the price of sanity
a rage suppressed against the need
questing for the medicine
applied to scratch demanding deeds.

The poem βApplied to Scratchβ is about the low-grade hum of addiction asking for appeasement.
