wings of vanity
somehow found a way.
mask chronic shame;
break on through the wax

too much too soon, see
at last:

i ought to shine
like these tears,
flowing,
falling,
filling the space between
but ultimately
following
me to the sea.

cry for help falls on deaf ears;

as i fall

endlessly, to the
same old story.
i
disbelieve.

This is a remarkable poem, as it answers the question of what the shepherd is looking up at, in disbelief, and also how oblivious most of the rest of us are as our pride is leading us to the fall ... how we choose to "disbelieve" it ...
