when icarus lost his wings
he fell from the sky
tumbling to the sea below
feathers dropping off his back
my wings shattered
crashing to the ground
soft feathers turning to pointed shards
littering the ground with shining jewels and blood
this icarus didn’t even get to fly before they fell
i was on the floor before i could touch the sky
icarus flew too close to the sun
and i fled, leaving the sun behind
