Icarus

I am not quite sure you have been right about
everything.
About most things—I will give you that—
But all of them? I would shake my head, then,
And look at you with open eyes.
Will you to see yourself clearer than that.
Look for mirrors sharper than that

and pray for defiance of augury
and knowledge there is grace
            for the fall of every sparrow.


Even those such as Icarus.
