A small wind blew over my doldrum skin
As I laid there in erosion

Withering back to the dust I came from

Each day another break from my face
Another shed of human remains
Is giving into the future

The creeping take of time
Follows behind the sun in a cosmic circle

The rise of morning
The fall of night
My blood flows through the encounter of life

I stay here breathing more destiny
Inside my coffin of fate
I'm still unsure of where am I

I'm still unsure of where am I
Inside my coffin of fate
I stay here breathing more destiny

My blood flows through the encounter of life
The fall of night
The rise of morning

Follows behind the sun in a cosmic circle
The creeping take of time

Is giving into the future
Another shed of human remains
Each day another break from my face

Withering back to the dust I came from

As I laid there in erosion
A small wind blew over my doldrum skin

In another rotation
The same circle
Hanging in the atmosphere
In the same gravitational relation
Spinning and spinning faces
Every being in its placement
In a war of deterioration
To each his own spiritual mutation
Believing in the satisfaction of their taking
Man and his moon
In a universe of spacing
Running a race of human pacing
Another sun sets

In the days erased here

Another sun sets
Running a race of humans pacing
In a universe of spacing
Man and his moon
Believing in the satisfaction of their taking
To each his own spiritual mutation
In a war of deterioration
Every being in its placement
Spinning and spinning faces
In the same gravitational relation
Hanging in the atmosphere
The same circle
In another rotation

A palindrome is letters or sequences
that read the same both forwards and backwards
I often think of our love as a palindrome
what we had
was a palindrome love
no start nor end
but always the same
whether read from start to finish
or finish to start
I pray one day I'll stop moving in back and forth sequences
I hope one day
we both only move forwards

To separate the word from it's identity
Is quite the delightful mind game
How things are agreed to be described or named
is just convention for communication; a key,
for organization of knowledge. Nothing more, less, and neither.
While unable to negate this absurdity, ultimately, why bother?

For example, the universe, or reality for that matter, is not "good" or "bad." It just "is" and, thus, not even that (by "that" I am referring to the aforementioned "is" of course, but also the formal definition of "that," however, I also ironically don't mean that either by "that" as I mean nothing, yet I also don't mean "nothing" by "that" as I intend "nothing," "is," and "that" to be both metaphorically and literally interpreted while also neither simultaneously, which is seemingly contradictory). Did you follow that? I apologize, but it's a paradox to try and explain this concept/whatever about words with more words, thus I can only hope to allude to it or otherwise imply it. Lend me your ear again, or your eyes I suppose, but also neither... Sorry! One more time:

A palindrome isn't even a palindrome by it's own literal definition, but it's literal definition is also that of a palindrome. The word "palindrome" exists both as a palindrome and not a palindrome and also neither simultaneously. Schrodinger's cat, but no, too, and also both and Gorgias, Parmenides, Zeno an

A palindrome isn't a palindrome, intriguingly  
How can that be?
That something isn't itself by definition, literally
...Am I really me?
