Understanding Icarus
I understand Icarus
and his flight to the sun
unbounded place and time
where reaching out
to touch gossamer and fire
becomes the singular
defiance of being
able to step beyond
blandishments and banality
defining each day
to escape beautiful and deceptive
questions of self
presentation of cultural
edifice to stand apart
unblemished and pure
in knowing

I understand Theseus
unspooling his thread
through the maze of
Dedalus' mind. His
strongest fear getting lost
beyond the decapitated
monster at the center.
Give me my hands' full of
the violence. Place me within
the master's finest tool.
Only you could think a string--
as red as a filament of blood
from your vagina--
would save me more than memory.
