I do understand the typical use of Icarus in poetry.


SOL

It is cold
let us move closer
I will build
concrete wings
To let us
like Icarus
catch the warmth
of the sun
because
words alone
won't get us close
enough

I like this. I especially like the concrete wings. It makes me imagine a whole another poem within this poem.
