that feeling of relief
in darkened days –

remembering once
with hollow eyes and broken gazes,
floods my skin like taut stares,
uncomfortable –
the key snapping blurry worlds
into focus.

I dissolve, scars upon scars,
building tales of months
forgotten and
pain bleeding outside borders –
only blissful addiction.

[ breathing monitored,
as watched as I am – ]
confusion, hazy like counting
backwards

for that feeling in freedom,
for waiting.

perfection comes in blood
and agony, for searching
out hungry addiction.

watch –

addiction, hungry,
out searching for agony
and blood.

in comes perfection,
waiting for freedom in
feeling that,
for backwards counting like hazy
confusion.

[ am I
as watched as
monitored breathing? ]

addiction, blissful –
only borders outside bleeding
pain and forgotten
months of tales building
scars upon scars.    dissolve.

I focus into worlds
blurry, snapping.

key the uncomfortable stares,
taut like skin.
my floods –

gazes broken and eyes hollow
with once remembering
darkened days

in relief of feeling
that.
Guess what? It's a...PALINDROME!
It should read identically when you read it backwards as you do when you read it forwards.

I cannot even tell you how difficult this was to write.


for Writers-Workshop palindromes workshop.
