Icarus: When Cleanest Beauty Flies

When young men make mistakes, they still get all
The glory. Here he is with nothing wrong
About his body. It’s as if the fall
Has killed him theoretically. This strong
One lies in nakedness unharmed. That thigh
And knee are splayed to balance out design
And maybe make the V to cause the eye
To note his darker genitals. That fine
Suave skin is hairless, nearly sleek except
On lower legs and perfect hair on head.
The artist lays him out. She’s so adept
We do not have to see his armpit spread.
..The mourners, too, are smoothest young as well.
….It seems his old man does not know he fell.
