On Reflection

My parents were both Gods.

My father, Perses, was the Titan God of War.

My mother, Asteria, was the Titanide

of Oracles and Shooting Stars.

They once owned a palace

so grand that every God

and demi-God talked of it

with such great awe.

And my birth was supposed

to be a joyous occasion.

But this was before the war.

And now my parents,

once a God and a Goddess,

served the rest of their eternities

as an island in the middle of nowhere

and a slave in the worst realm

of all the mortal and immortal worlds.
