Elegy in Reverse

 Overwhelmed under ink

Embraced in traces of her

Drenched in an elegy


He whispered a tale

Both strange to the tongue and mind

Yet strong as a scent on an animal farm.


Tilling time to seek a smile

He took his chance

Drawing tears in darkness.


Yet when it was dawn

Another story stood true

Awash with scarred face.


Swashed with emotion

He penned her words

Yet backwards they landed on paper.
