## Icarus ## I flew. With one touch, my spirit and body flew high; With one breath, you carried me to heights I had never seen. I rode high above all I know sailing through joy and laughter Twisting and turning in your arms like the cursed ground Could never again bind me tie me. Constraint. Soar! I soar above you below you within without! You me! Two now one! The sky! My lover! I rise higher and higher in your arms tighter and tighter. Hotter and hotter. My wings! Why did I fly so high? So fast? KS '98 [http://www.madpoet.com](http://www.madpoet.com) Computers have let mankind make mistakes faster than any other invention, with the possible exception of tequila and handguns. ---
