Rain Down

Let's meet here,
Where reality has kept its distance from existence
And fantasy is the only thing keeping us sane,
Where my hands are tied in paper feathered knots
And my feet in golden paint,
Where the rain never stops
Until that golden paint has smeared and laughed and dried,
Where I am here
With the very last inch of life.
