WOW! I'm Stunned, such imageries feels these corridors, your mind, your heart and soul! To write this poem!
Sounds or pictures of many hurt souls, looking, searching (in corridors, through eachother, etc. and seeing their sadness and knowing their feelings, becoming a part of your own!
I enjoyed reading and sounds a tinge of sad, since this write/healing, I hope your heart is filled WITH JOY!
You write amazing!
WRITE ON!

There is much to think about when I read your verses, Axilea. This is a poem that is worthy of much more than a single reading. Thank you. Love and best wishes,

Mesmerizing piece here, Axilea. Terrifying--not to be able to rid one's self of horrifying memories... sell them all you will, but they remain--grow--loom still in those mental corridors.
My favorite stanza is the next-to-last. That image of the washing machine is brilliant. I can just see her washing day after day the same, soiled thoughts-- sloshing them around mechanically in a tub of sudsy water-- trying against all hope to remove the stains of whatever haunts are meshed there-in. And all the while, her face is an immaculate garden of well-manicured happiness. (slosh--slosh...)
Maybe she simply needed a new brand of soap?
Now, if only she had a coin for every new load she washed...

Axilea - Love the images in your "The Corridor." Corridor of near death? a hospital? a mind? They all fit into this dreamscape in which:
she sells her memory
to buy herself a future
(she’s forgotten how she ran)

As always your thoughts crystalize into poetry as softly as a butterfly exits it's cocoon. Your heart is left revealed and vunerable but not beyond repair and your strength still stands formost in your world of tomorrow. Well written and so true.

Axilea,
The title's the indication, and after the assertions of the first two stanzas I love how the third introduces the personal dimension and then at the end of the fourth blends it into the narrative...we see sides of you and the feelings haunt us.

A very interesting write.
In the stanzas you start with "she" and end with "I" several times.
Where you ran but she forgot to.
Sad but true.

Dear Axilea, I am not anymore suprised . You write so clearly and to the point. "Eli Fat Mat" (What is gone is dead) they say in Arabic. We are all working for the future which we don't know. You are a great poet. Love Emile
