Lament for Icarus

[wish-i-were-heather]

"icarus imagined himself to be the stick of a candle, the wings to be the wick, and the sun to be the flame. for a small time, the wick would burn. the candle would be alight, shining brilliantly, lighting up the space for as long as the wick could last. until inevitably, the wick reached its end, the candle burning out. until the wick finally died, reaching the stick of the candle and engulfing that, too, in flames."

[START I.D. An illustration of Angel Cheng Xiaoshi and Demon Lu Guang as the “Lament for Icarus” painting by Herbert James Draper, where Cheng Xiaoshi is Icarus. A tear rolls down Cheng Xiaoshi’s cheek as he lay numb against Lu Guang, his halo splitting in half. Lu Guang holds him in his arms and cries in grief. One of his tattered wings is slightly curled around one of Cheng Xiaoshi’s, as if to shield him. Both of them are covered in blood. All around them are loose feathers and bits from both their wings. END I.D.]
