Landscape With The Fall of Icarus

According to Brueghel

when Icarus fell

it was spring



a farmer was ploughing
his field

the whole pageantry



of the year was

awake tingling

near



the edge of the sea

concerned

with itself



sweating in the sun

that melted

the wings' wax



unsignificantly

off the coast

there was



a splash quite unnoticed

this was

Icarus drowning
