The Return

I was still trying to understand

what I had managed to do

when I realized that Thanatos

had brought me back to my palace.

This palace, which had never

quite felt like home, but now

the marble corridors

were strangers to me.

Even the kitchen table

I loved seemed like a novelty

from a time barely remembered.

And there, sitting at the table,

her split eyes

filled with more fury

than I had ever seen,

was Styx.
