• how it glows
    even in a deluge

  • the only way out of the wreckage
    is through the wall of flames —
    a baptism —
    like icarus bathing in his melted wings
    because he dared to dream
    i dared to dream, too,
    and i can’t tell if this is
    falling
    or
    flying
    but through
    to out,
    flames be damned
