The heavens, a shade of wildfire
charcoal grey all day, like clouds
stepped on and smeared across
the once periwinkle canvas by Zeus,
drunk on ninety-nine barrels of spiked
nectar and rolling down naked
in the mire of Mount Olympus
with Hera hot on the cartwheeling
heels of his hydra leather sandals
after she found him Netflix and chilling
with yet another crown check girl
in a guest room at the celestial palace.
