Icarus Returns

Mike Bell/ June 20, 2016/ www.mikebellpoems.com/ 0 comments

I flew over
our earth
on the same day
as Mr. Peake

but miles away
without
the melting touch
of gods

Taken by man-wings
to our fall –
from there
above

Expulsions –
but unashamed –
now suited
and strapped

to a sown-remedy –
for us – The Fallen –
open parachutes
our strung indemnity
