Write Backwards

Knife. tongue. scarred. lips.
will make this kiss
a little difficult
an ocean with a map
trying to fit into the mouth of a river
flow back words
and catch the fall
but there is a verbose boiling
in this bed
seven heart attacks
in the past four years
passing the past on
like it isn't vivid black
but it is like the first line
repeated as the last. knife.
