An affair

Right is never wrong and so it goes
But once it’s said so, 
the right to say “I love you”
Is altogether and entirely wronged 

At a time and place when all wrongs 
felt out of place; You and I,
threw fistfuls of gilted memories at
Bottomless wells of why nots

Today I tried to swim there 
But my limbs forgot to move
My left leg tripped on yours
Only, nothing seemed right 

Alone I travelled to the stars
Which we once named with 
Joined finger trails, up there, above
The ladder that stayed but, the sky was wrong  

You and I, it seems have no right
No sky, no well, no land on earth where
Left and right feel altogether 
and entirely, wrong. And yet 

Wrong is never right 
and so it goes
once it’s said so.
