Levity

Levity


There is a lightness in his step
and a chain on one foot
he is dragging and yanking as he walks forwards on air


Head in the clouds
and feet dangling down
he's flying so close to the ground.


Icarus could have learned something from him-
could have taken notes
or scribed on stone.


Because being so close to the middle
in constant love
yet alone.


Content in height
and in depth
he's making his way above and through crowds.
