in a brief breath between dusk and dawn, the sun forgot itself and fall. and in that tender fracture of time, icarus found him - not as a god but as a boy, trembling and warm. this is a hymn of skin on skin, of wings built not for flight, but for reunion. for what is love, if not holy fever? what is falling, if not another name for prayer?
