Villanelle Of The Now And Then

I open my eyes and rise into The Anymore.
The world is burning around me.
I wish to close my eyes once more.

All I hear is music and allure.
The sun’s a warm comforting glow on my back.
I open my eyes and rise into The Anymore.

122, 123, 124, there’s no more going out of the door.
Laying on the floor that’s as cool as a wool blanket,
I wish to close my eyes once more.

It’s raining with water that numbs my core.
A breeze washes by that makes even the tree’s shiver.
I open my eyes and rise into the Anymore.

No more going outside today with the boiling storm,
Hot enough to burn through the last tree on our street.
I wish to close my eyes once more.

The Anymore dawned with the oceans rising but we couldn’t care, too much of a bore.
I open my eyes and rise into the Anymore.
I wish to close my eyes once more.
