FreeFall

Do not fly so high
young Icarus
for the sun
burns.

Your wings will melt
young icarus
let not your passions
lead you
astray.

You shall fall
young Icarus
but at least you'll have known
what it meant
to fly.

-------------------

I love you
angel
becasue we have
a matching
pain
and we both admire
cracks in the plaster
with our broken eyes
and chipped-tooth
smiles
understanding and admiring
the beauty
of the house
falling down
around
us.

-------------------

Why do you force
me to say
that which you
can see
in my eyes, angel?
is it not better
to be unsaid
but not unheard
than
unheard
but not unsaid?

Apparently, Pixies do not forgive. :-(
