flying to close to the sun

Astronomical Poetry
pushing his ass down the runway
to fly
just to fly
picture the wings
the rising feel
when senses take flight
hard to breathe now
at such a height
dart in and out
and up and down
between the unfolding sight
up in the sky
a black specked silhouette
slanting back to the sun
sultry
draw where heat shows
and take it hard
slipping below
carelessly flying with suicide
one can fall
so hard
when consciousness fades
as the world watches
with horrified eyes
see the foolishness of mortal men…
