here I move and here I go

soft in the work-a-day world

keeping body and soul together and functional

until God has mercy enough to call body and soul apart


at any moment

on any day or hour or minute

that call will come with no recourse

and I will be on my way


and the poor loved ones left behind

awaiting their call

will be obliged to clean up after me

as part of what they must do


until body and soul are sundered

and they race is through
