Don't Look Back! Don't Look Back!

the instructions are clear
like white silk on my skin

but what if i really have to
look back to pain and feel

it the way she felt it with
my own incorrigibilities

what i i really looked back
will i turn into salt like the

way Lot's wife disobeyed
the orders from heaven?

and what if i turn into salt?
do i have the sighs of the water?
