I c a r u s

he is, and always have been, ravenous —

for distant worlds, for the myth of freedom, for the kingdom beyond clouds.

his father, in addition to carving sculptures and softening iron, is a fabler, tongueful of stories and palmful of grease.

within his stories, he was the hero who raised cities from the sea, the explorer with a lion heart, and the gold-haloed angel whose heavenly hands cured diseases.

soon, for a growing boy, it became arduous to separate legends from what is real, and he began living fictional narratives that could never exist, like krakens in the ocean or thick-scaled dragons amongst the skies.

he became something
worse than a dreamer;
he became a believer.

and the wreckage that comes from shattered beliefs is abundant for beliefs are complex structures.

beliefs are intertwined with the very soul of a person. beliefs are what makes a person a person.

and when he learnt that pots of gold do not wait near the rainbow's end and that poverty exists,

his beliefs broke to mere shards that were trampled underfoot by a harsh reality.

so what remains, is the icarus who crawled out of the sea alive after his fall, a shipwrecked boy with salt-stung wounds and wings stitched out of his own broken, ivory-white bones. a derelict kingdom pleased with its own ruins.

if he cannot soar to his personal heaven high up in the skies, he will have to scrape up for it above ground.
