Have you ever fallen in love
with the rainbow,
that survived the black hurricane?

I've lived inside the lightning;
waiting for you.

Years. And, I'm beat down.
Butterflies; withered on my back -
and burned away.

I'll wait for you, still.
Maybe inside the inverted cocoon,
deserted within a crowd.
Of flames.

I've fallen in love,
with a god;
who was in love with a Rainbow.

But, maybe he died;
in the long farewell.
Not even in my faint dreams;
I never seem him walking,
with this holy cane;
you spoke of.

Come back; I said.
There's a rainbow here; waiting on your breaths.
