Upon Falling Out of Good Graces
The Icarus Effect
I remember
The sound of your voice,
Something soothing
Like the vast quiet of the cosmos;
Each word
Like the birth of a new star
Whose tendrils of yellows erupted
Into fractal symphonies.
I remember
Remember losing your voice,
The feeling
Of weightlessness and silence
As I fell
And fell and fell away,
As the silver feathers of lost wings
Coiled in the blue above me.
I remember.
