It was a day Like any other When my sun Fell from the sky Into a labyrinth of My own making… To be lost To me. A moment when The core of the earth Should have stopped spinning, Should have Cracked its jaws. My heart Should have imploded: Oblivious to Its own laws Existence went on Regardless of My genius. Is this why I have been Mythologized? I: who extract algorithms From nature And manipulate To defy The nature Of nature itself, Weave webs With mathematical precision. I: who think I can contain my own fears, Other’s monstrosities An easy feat By comparison. By laws of reason I Can create Minor miracles, or So it seems. But the Universe Goes on – Despite my brilliance, Despite my thinking I am sun – Oblivious to My catastrophe. How can I Contain outcomes? I am still Enamoured of My own mind. The Universe understands That there are no catastrophes: Only catastrophisation If one thinks Before the fact. Auden overlooked the most Poignant moments of existence Pondering the ‘Musée des Beaux-Art’: Those before the fall And the cessation. Perhaps I, too, Should have Embraced the moment, Fallen into the sun, The ephemera, The soaring, The exhilaration The labyrinth, The heart of Existence itself. Perhaps I, too, Should have taken Flying lessons From Icarus [Icare].
