backwards 

walk backwards 

talk backwards 

think 

again 

yes 

backwards 

legs before feet 

hips before

torso 

breath

before 

lungs

thought before 

brain 

ever 

speaking 

our backwards

 thought 

 spilling 

it like food from 

the fork

the fork pulling the food 

from our stomachs 

 the hands 

slapping 

the child 

before she 

talks 

go backwards

again and again

speak backwards thoughts

again and again 

fill the gun with bullets 

to shoot ourselves 

again and again

you kill with a thought
