Hera is not so sharp anymore.
It is difficult to keep tabs on
A cheating husband,
Especially when he is so well empowered.
To see and recognize a god is simple,
But a bull?
How does one keep an eye on that,
A magnificent white bull?
The wife of a certain king of Crete can.
She can keep an eye on that quite well.
The powers of the god stayed in that
Hiding bull form,
And of Zeus' greed and infidelity,
A monster was born.
Many lives were claimed
In the name
Of Zeus' sex life.
Poor Hera.
Poor Crete.
Poor Daedalus.
Poor Minotaur.
Poor Minotaur,
Locked in a
Labyrinth.
A life unfit
For the child
Of a god.
