Fragmenting shards cutting skin
Desperately trying miserably failing
Warm and salty tears dripping snot
Gone all control (reverse)

PALINDROMES

EDDIE McALPINE

gurglingly lingual – lingually gurgling

curiously looking – looking curious

I’ve accepted the responsibility

that some parts of you will come from me

innocently amusing – amusingly innocent

lovingly tireless – tirelessly loved

SOPHIE SYMONS-REID

You held breaths

red-faced you

constructed life

your instinct pure

recreate pure

instinct your life

constructed

you faced red

breaths held you
