Villanelle


Around the block three times
Still, Walk, Jog, Sprint, Jog, Walk. Still?
In the morning, in the afternoon, and in the moon

As we walk we search
So are we going to find the prize?
Around the block three times

A person zooms by us
What time you say?
In the morning, in the afternoon, and in the moon

Authentic in our journey
Just to say “hey” in the beginning and “see you later” at the end?
Around the block three times

About halfway through, our legs are weary
Stop for moment only if you must
In the morning, in the afternoon, and in the moon

Absolutely muffled, our footsteps are silent
Joint with terra firma
Around the block three times

All we see is the next corner
With our hands tied between us
Sometimes you help me, sometimes I help you
In the morning, in the afternoon, and in the moon
