Oh those twanging memories do tend to repeat again and again. I like the way you have written this poem- single words on a line have a great impact. Let's hope that the 'ghostly refrain' begins to fade (as the capchta says!) and the broken chords and missing strings can regenerate.

Thank you again my friend :)
This is very simple but you've chosen a great metaphor to describe the damage caused by the tsunami waves spreading out from the cataclysm.
You are describing the human condition - we know its going to hurt but we can't help ourselves.

Sounds full of regret for a life wasted in youth in dreaming about musical success and in drinking/drug taking. Love the way it echoes out and leaves the impression of lasting sorrow.

Eerie words, Tony. Some of the "why's" of life are never answered, are they? We'd be better off forgetting the questions, but somehow can not manage to do that. Good one. Lydi**

G'day Tony. Well as Confucius once said, and I quote directly, " those fuckers that dwell on the past are mostly miserable, cynical c*~ts "
Not a very well known saying I might add......

I'm minded of an episode of the 1990s comedy Everybody Loves Raymond by your review (which is spot on), in which the protagonist Raymond has kept a 'break-up' tape for 2 decades, trying to figure out why he got dumped, lol.
Great to see you around again. I hope healed and mobile. :))

The unwelcome sound of tragedy's echoes.
Brings to mind country music; a most appropriate metaphorical springboard.
Excellent poem!

Thank you very much.
I think memories do that to you. It's like going back somewhere that held great thoughts in your head.
But then you find nothing you can relate to.
Thank god for drink.
