umbrella


you and i have saved ourselves from the scorching sun / financial downpours / emotional tornadoes / sticks and stones

we have sheltered ourselves on hot summer nights / kissing like kids under mistletoe / dancing under cloudy skies with wet feet

this tattered umbrella has been our shield / our armored breastplate our testimony / our strength / our declaration that

we ain’t fair-weather folk / we the sunshine kind
