Icarus
Mixed-media work based on the Dramatic Poem by Cuban-born Jose F. Rosado. The last two stanzas create the setting for Biviano's piece:
Shedding ambitions like feathers
Dropping from my wings⦠I fell,
Pulled by the glow of gravity
To the sea where fusion waits.
And I passed beside my father,
Flying cautious circles in the sky,
Calling to him imbued
With the joy of understanding:
'Donât ever forget me fatherâ¦
And remember when I flew! '
Jose F Rosado, Poet
