There is Icarus
Near death in the water.
Everyone laughs and jeers
to call him a fool
And his name becomes
A symbol
of Hubris.
But none of it changes
Icarus-
nearly dead and sunburned-
Smiling
After it all
Flying around
somehow with wax.
But the stars and planets
and even the sun
Are actually very beautiful.
