The rain didn't line up with the reason and their love had grown stale and out of season and her mouth still shaped the words but the sound was hollow and lies were all he heard  so he packed his bags and alibi and made them tight without a sound and he stepped out into the rain and and drove north or east or northwest and picked up reason stranded on the side of an empty road halfway between the blood of loneliness and dreams painted by the colors of desperation and they had no where to go and no place to be and they found a cliff and a ledge just outside of Oceans End and trusted gravity to fail and drove off into the sky and were swallowed by the moon and all the stars conspired to hide their names in the heart of the falling rain
