Icarus

built myself out of
feathers and tar
a girl doll angel a sinner
something secret inside

through my skin you could see my
blue blue veins like ocean
running beneath flesh
you said

like a roadmap to my heart

then why oh why did we get so lost
flying up so high
so close to your fierce burning
brightness that i
melted away

and when the sun set
there i lay molten girl hardening in moonlight
only the shape of my wings
the map under my skin
betraying the girl i used to be
