The Angle of your Downfall (Free verse) by MacFrantic
I'd bet that little Icarus in his descent
Felt nothing of your wingless departure
Yes the sun and yes the ocean
But you never doubted
You rigged that safety net
And for each profanity laden sermon
As the commoners watched your dive
For every headline
breaking story
The angle of you downfall became
Curiouser and curiouser
However you die
You have flown amongst the clouds
Found that righteous aperture
And risen above them
But your broken body lands
Again and again
Suffering the blows of ruin
