The rains
And so the rains come
And swarm around my shoes
Taking leaves and stone and sin
Past the bullet shell
And so the rains come
And soak my lying body
Pushing blood and tears and silence
Out, away from me again
And so the rains come
And go, like my soul
Purging lust and existence and guilt
Out through my bones.
