The Recent Fall Of Icarus Poem by RIC BASTASA

The Recent Fall Of Icarus



i was busy talking to you
about poetry and too sad
we did not bother listening
to the recent fall of Icarus

what i heard later was that
Icarus did not die

He is alive and so thankful
of his melted wax wings

the radar did not detect him
and so here he is knocking
at my door
asking for a little time
to be with us in this
safe house

it was his father who was shot
because he was
shouting.
