god-tears come down
for zeus' affair
and eros' love
for persephone's capture
and artemis' kill
they cast their grief on the living
for what they have forgotten
makes them mourn
what curses they
who
have it all
are beyond our comprehension
fear our disbelief
why do they cry
drizzles of missing joy
and heartbroken hurricanes of
death
and
life
and
love
they immerse us
in their sadness
and anger
and betrayal
their wrong-doing
wrought on
humanity
cursed with their woe
