Walking backwards
with an eye to the past
Watching the tracks tracing
the blood.

Walking forwards
with back facing front
Shoulder blades cutting
the present.

Backing into future
with face to the wind
of what was remembering
the past.

Backing forwards
With no eyes behind
the head is repeating
the sin.

 

– Vermont, (1.23.18)
