Too hot to move
Tar melting on winding streets
Heroic gusts of wind
One, two and the third knocks you down
Remember the nights with us alone
Watching the TV in endless cycles
Watching each other, always learning
As she fights and wins never-ending battles
We claw and scratch to get at what’s inside
Remember when this all started
You picked me up and brought me here
Away from all that before
A fortress where you can protect me
As we crouch beneath damp floorboards
Remember that first winter
When the house started falling apart
I could feel skin come off in my fingers
As the walls peeled from their frames
And we began to decay
