Icarus

Icarus

Lost my thought

I’ve lost it again
The words were just there
Right on the tip
Of my mind
 
Now they’ve descended
Beneath the surface
Out of sight
B tons my reach
 
Hoped they’d stay
But like you  
They too have
Abandoned me

(2015)

Naked and unashamed
 The garden abandoned
 Acceptance exchanged alienation in judgement alone
