#600 - anything goes

anything goes

 

remember the days

one could

go where wished

do anything then

 

hale heart and limb

up before the hours set on

and get day done to begin

all telling the untold

 

then we were a conversation

in and out of sleep

it comes back piecemeal

 

before that and after

all care

nothing to fault

 

who’ll say it was I shot the sun

made cloud of moon

drawing own blood and conclusion

not even heaven knows

 

now we are far of soul

   for nonsense

well over our heads

still heavens above

 

now signed up for the future

remember the jigsaw oaths

of knowing how could

and would be

were

 

then we expected the unexpected

took our liberty by blows

we named the several-ness then

 

now, and by ones, everything goes

and who knows who’s next?

 

deep in a house

where the rain won’t fall

where the wind won’t touch

I have this hunch

a world is turning too
