Poison
Daedalus, Daedalus
Won't you stay afloat?
Tears amidst the salty ocean
Cry, cry, but soar.
Icarus, Icarus
Your father loved you so.
Melting wax, meet the clouds
Soar, soar, and grow.
Don't think of Talos, whom you pushed with a pair of hands
The same pair of hands with which you crafted two pairs of wings
The same pair of wings on which the two of you flee
One sinks, and the other weeps.
Golden pinions in honeyed glare
Offer your wings to the sun.
Judas wraps his flank around you
So sleep now, you've won.
I gave you wings and you flew away so high, you dumb bitch.
- Probably Daedalus at some point while mourning Icarus.
Questions for the Boy Who Brushed the Sun
To he who tried to fly beyond the sky, I will always wonder what you had seen? In those moments before you came to die. Did you think too much of father’s machine? What was it like to try and touch the sun? What were the things you would have tried to change? Were you engaging in some childish fun? Or were you treating the sky as your stage? As you fell and were scorched by wax and wind, Did fear consume you? Or did you embrace The fall, because some will say that you grinned. The stories say, “he tried to reach for space.” But, I will seek my answers, nonetheless. How can I avoid your same recklessness?
so...yeah. I wrote a Shakespearean Sonnet about Icarus.
This is how Ulysses dies at dawn ended, right?
these are my babies, and if you hurt them - you die (shash, none of them is dead)
