Moving Day

[audiofool]

It isn't too far
By boat or car
We depart next eve
Give this house a heave

You want to stay behind
The stars are misaligned
Without you I'm kaput
A sock without a foot

I read a book of salt
A form without a fault
Words to frame your face
A feeble mind gives chase

Orbiting your sphere
We paused for beer
And retrograde tunes
A pair of aging loons

In the smoking sun
Caress of velvet gun
With flowers on demand
Sweat melting into sand

Packed and heading south
A gift horse in the mouth
With you always beside
Across the subdivide

We'll raise our expectations
On hope and appleseed
Born is a new nation
In soil unspoiled by greed

Caged by candle light
Eyes devour the night
A carriage to convey my love
Rain down from up above

It's not very far
From where we are
Our exit to Eden
Now all odds are even.

rhyming couplets, varying meter... flows very well.
