framlingem"Icarus"
If I had wings
I would fly away across the world
and break my neck
on a plateglass window in Tokyo;
If I had wings
I would fly to where the air is thin
and suffocate and fall
(a splash quite unnoticed)
The sun cannot melt me
for there is no sun bright enough
but I would fly
If I had wings.
(w. apologies to
W.C.Williams for stealing one of his lines)
