Poetic form 22: Palindrome

Tomorrow?

Today feels rough,

hate runs doubt.

Mouths filled with

painted lines to divide.

Fences or shields, only

questions drop;

can we

love?

We can.

Drop questions.

Only shields or fences

divide to lines painted

with filled mouths.

Doubt runs hate

rough; feels today.
