accomplicity

accomplicity 
dovetails and hews 
through living rock 
of the one and you,
in channels and veins 
of streaky ore. Who
you find it with is just
what you both explore,
all in
and about
and through, 

It's unnecessary 
but so useful, too! 
Once you get on a lark 
and sport yourselves 
with a mischief fit 
for faeries and elves 
done up in scientist kit 
as a prank with a point 
to it. We have much 
to thank, and it's mostly 
the way we've done 
ourselves in.

In being, 
but even more
knowing something
by tells and by giveaways,
innocent of sin, or
ignorant of what's lost
by win. So by takes
and turns in breaking
swells as the candle burns 
'til it's worth so much more
than the game it sells - I will be 
your accomplice, now shush 
don't tell. Just laugh 
like bells, as is always 
a wont of yours, and my want 
as well. If the game is afoot 
let us fix eyes and try both hands
upon this scent, that track, 
one side pursued by two
such curious sleuths, and
hunt it like hounds to hell. Or hey,
maybe paradise 

is the way
it runs. Well, 
it shan't be safe
there, either way. Quite nice!
We have too many plans, 
too much to do for our pains
and cares, to much fun. It almost 
goes through the star-freighted rooves 
of that universe you hinted darkly
at once, in darkest verse.
It is so hard to care
more or less than this,
as we recreate and repair 
all the trickiest,
dodgiest most 
insidious and
sophisticated 
effects of bliss
