the sun sees Icarus & tries to shift orbit
but he already flies so close
(too close) & the sun sees beeswax ((coming closer))
wings & feathers & briefly wants to hold him
& imagines the touch [ ] like popping off
a fanta lid: all orange fizz / a good explosive /
the sun tastes it / on his orb & delights & shines warmer
& so Icarus slips
melts into the water leaving
the sun trembling /
weeping with no one to listen:
[ ],
[ ],
[ ].
