to outshine Icarus.
'How could a sun harm
a nova, after all?'
So she rubbed her flesh
until skin was cinder,
took a leap of failure to
fall
through
branches,
land broken, burned,
among astounded roots,
and scorn raining like leaves.
'No, I said up, silly girl.
You never learn,
you never
learn.'

TheRainManover 18 years agoYou have caught people's eye here already with your phrasing.
I think people may be expecting their breath to be taken away with every line, now that you've been drummed up, which is unfair.
Your writing is very good, eye-catching in spots. I look forward to more, and more.
