Icarus

Aislinn Wilson

Favored child, run from here.

Her writhing twitches towards your reach.

The sun is soon descending, Her waters ache for a taste. 

Favored child don't turn back

as wax crusts around your shoulders,

You'll find you're inescapably free.

    Interestingly written and formatted. But a fine write none the less. There is no such thing as flying too close to the sun for if we don't make it we still will live among the stars.

      Interesting thought. I guess that itself is an inescapable freedom. Thanks for your thoughts.

          Freedom can be found in so many ways.
