Cerberus Sleeps

Father, what have you done?
Swallowed your daughters and sons
Every mythology fades
All immortality sleeps in mortality's crown

Your bones: Shit of the gods
Your anger: Piss of the gods
Brothers take sisters for wives
Lovers who rape in disguise
Still your virility wanes

All marble, all granite, all stars and all planets must die
Your eyes: Shit of the gods
Your envy: Piss of the gods

Three-headed cerberus sleeps or languidly gnaws on our bones
The path to the underworld abandoned, unkempt, overgrown
Helios' stable is bare, his team put to pasture in stars
Tired constellations wink out, a great astrological yawn

Gods ascend from olympus
Muted wanderers roaming the sky
No one immortal
No world eternal
