a cardinal sin
back to the Greeks
and Icarus
countless tales
of falls from grace
and yet we laud
this questionable quality
do not see the stagnation
in its persuasion
there is much talk now
of self-help, self-care
but transformation
requires humility, flexibility
one does not will the self to change
one is bent, broken, rearranged
there is no righteousness in this
the caterpillar does not dictate the chrysalis
