The giant awakes
His empire calls
From his glass castle in the sky
A million feet tall
With mighty, heavy step

Hera put her foot down.
Zeus didn’t understand her frown:
“It was just a night on the town!”
It was never the last time,
Though he swore it on every dime
Hailing from the constellation Gemini, Castor and Pollux are both mortal.and immortal twins. Sharing the mother Leda, Pollux asked his father, Zeus, to let his half brother share his immortality.
Three times a week,
For an hour a day,
Our horrible marriage was put on display.
Feelings come out,
And thoughts are spoken,
I leave with a heavy heart most times its broken.
Three times a week,

Our horrible marriage was put on display.
Feelings come out,
And thoughts are spoken,
I leave with a heavy heart most times its broken.
I tell the tale of a family
violent and free and unpredictable
No soul would believe they existed in our everyday lives
So Zeus, you claim to be the man
A man who has slain as many of
His enemies in the football field as
He do to the women who are “blessed” to sleep in his bed.
Through all the myths of the past
And on every last sheet
Not a single soul has scribed
That Zeus was an athlete
As powerful he was
Sissy-fits pushed his rock
around the hallways.
He pushed his rock around his home
Sissy-fits pushed and pushed and pushed his rock.
His rock never felt at home. His rock always needed to be moved.
Zeus is born in Crete,
he grows up to be quite an athlete.
Populated the cosmos even though married,
he tailed it all including fairies.
There are no boundaries for this philanderer,
“will you marry me, Hera?”
“no means no, Zeus. i’ve seen how you are with other girls and i’m not interested.”
he smiled at her
In New York, above the empire state tower
Zeus lays in Olympus
Brooding; bored as ever
He looks down on the city
An idea forms in his mind
Rain clouds with intensity
pour down on mankind
Finally President of the United States,
Zeus was pleased with himself.
Or at least he might have been, had his wife not found out that he had cheated on her.
Again.
Dear Aidoneus, Goddess of death!
Za, God of men!
Why must you sit on your ligneous chairs drenched in ichor?
Sympósion
By Ima Ríos
Pachamama and Changó
are dancing in the middle of the river
crying out loud
to the wheeping of the crickets.
Ixcheli joins them in the extasis of Baco.
