George Eliot

I can still go back

I do not glance

No sharp turn of the head

I march foot behind foot

Stomping

I will not stumble

Flowers crush underneath my feet

They will grow again

Grass between toes

I am stripped of all my clothes

Forget it all

I know nothing

Start again

I march backwards

Foot behind foot

I will not stumble

I do not glance back
