If you were to meet Icarus

If you were to meet


Icarus, he would never be


slumped in defeat



He would not sit crying


would never curse his burns


he would never regret flying



If you were to speak


to Icarus, to narrate to him


poems of his tragedy



I'm sure he would


whisper in your ear


"Sunshine, you are misunderstood."



"There is nothing tragic


about grasping what


you love, even for a second.
