It's only rite
Gonna go too far again
I can tell
by the inside out goosebumps
The stars of mania seem to align
damn near this time
every year
Quiet
when the suns anthem
is the clearest
thinking I have grown
but
Soon
It's high time
I sing sloppy, loud
and beautiful
before the flowers wilt
and
by harvest
sure as shit gonna have
well worn matted wool legs
strong from dance
and calcified feet turned hooves
shiney enough to reflect the moon
so she can see herself

Well that's different for you, (the pun at the end). I think it might make a better opening line. Get the pun out so we don't take it as a summation. Really like the sloppy singing stanza. Also the general idea that you are not just celebrating, or going through ritual motions, but you are actually helpless to refuse your participation.

So spot on my intention,thanks steve...totally canning that line,but as I asked in pm I sent, think it would work as title?..also as I said in pm,not too attached so not.necessary

We are playing PM tag. Yes I like it as a title, as that next to the last line feels like the stronger ending. If you have a nice pun, you might as well keep it and a title is a very apropos spot.
