Anagnorisis

The horror’s how he sees it all too late,
misreading signs with all-too-mortal eyes.
He thinks his good intentions will negate
the horrors. Now he sees it all too late:
his hubris, how escape attempts cinched fate.
On stage, his fall is now immortalized.
The horror’s how we too might see too late,
misleading signs and all-too-mortal eyes.
