Icarus
August 31, 2012
And what of you should I have?
With a heart such as yours
made with such feathers
and the air drumming along through such
vessels so unburdened by platelets
so thin and clear
and every desultory bone in that skeleton
sea glare stretched by tongs
and hardened
and skin such as yours,
simply the meniscus of the ocean
without resistance
Icarus, Icarus no I called
as you fell away from us.
