Pollock's
Canvas
Nothing
here is random.
Each molecule of paint
has dropped exactly where it needs
to be.
Icarus
He soared
and touched the sun.
And yes, it burned his wings.
His fall, a meteorite's streak
to earth,
tragic
and terrible.
And yet, that lure of sky
remains. We gaze above and dream
of flight.
