Let it take hold of your fingers
And let skin seep in the finery
And as your bones all crackle
Your palms all of lines will change

hmm i love the image this brings, its about burning yes?

Let it take hold of your fingers
And let skin seep in the finery

Your palms all of lines will change

i like the first line a lot, brings the poem alive. the second line, i think soak would be a better word compared to seep, unless you rework the structure. for the third line i think the all would be better placed before the "your" and for fourth, i think its missing a comma after palms, and a "the" before the "lines". on the other hand, i think to keep the tone concise, i would write it as "The lines of your palms will change"

i love the imagery and congrats on the DLD!

Seep is a much sharper word in my opinion.
I must have picked it up somewhere but messing with the grammatical in a way like I did with "your" and "all"...I don't know, I kind of like it.
There definitely should be a comma there.
In regards to the last line, it comes out in a very manner-of-fact sort of way, which was intended. For that reason, it breaks the feel, but in a way I hoped to be more unsettling and unnerving than anything.
Thank you very, very much, I'm still very much mouth-agape on the whole thing.

beautiful imagery.
I enjoy the sharpness and personal nature of the poem.
It's concise but has so much to it.

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.

Thanks.

well, things can seep into things, ands can't seep in/up stuff, but seep is definitely stronger.
but i suppose the ungrammatical feel works for this one, so congrats haha!
