| "A FEMALE ICARUS, HIS VICTIM" (*) |
The
world-- enormously huge
And she-- awfully small,
Small
enough
To fit in two fists
But not so much
To stay
limited
Within his reach.
She
was able
She was fierce
She gathered her courage
And
scattering
Her feathers
On the way up
She aimed at Pluto's
lands.
But
now
Jupiter
Spares kisses
On her back
Of fallen stars.

(*) The poem was written having in mind female victims of domestic violence and their need to dream again. However, it is not safe to assume that this persona was indeed liberated by her demon.
