<p>published: 5-15-2018</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>we were born in the summer rain<br />
the segway to autumn on the horizon<br />
pit-pattering on an old womans kitchen windowsill<br />
her own rain carving timeless canyons in her skin</p>
<p>I never put much stock in the seven deadly sins<br />
until greed became my downfall<br />
and I traded my wings, my flight, my freedom<br />
for a measly amount of human gold</p>
<p>instant regret</p>
<p>hair sopping in the rain<br />
I picked myself up and pushed past the searing pain<br />
ribbons of ripped flesh still hanging off my back</p>
<p>we turned our eyes away from the light<br />
so hard that we forgot how to see<br />
so we built our own heaven<br />
you and I, you and me</p>
<p>together until the end</p>
