\n<\/span>wax dripping onto unmarred skin and burning it<\/span>
\n<\/span>They use it to manipulate<\/span>
\n<\/span>to tell you to always listen and tame your curiosity<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>how the sun loved him enough to let him go<\/span>
\n<\/span>How the sea cradled him when he fell<\/span>
\n<\/span>how the air left his lungs gently and mercifully quick<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>the glee in his laugh as he fell<\/span>
\n<\/span>The way he smiled at the sun when he hit the water<\/span>
\n<\/span>the sense of freedom pumping through his now-cold veins<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>but it didn\u2019t feel like that as he fell<\/span>
\n<\/span>They told you he was in pain<\/span>
\n<\/span>but his smile and glee said otherwise<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>tumbling through the air in a free fall<\/span>

\n<\/span>and Poseidon clutched his cooling body<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
