Susan Hawthorne #89 five rivers, Styx

the river Styx is commanded

by the goddess of the same name

she is a feisty one

so much so that an oath

made to her is unbreakable

whether you be immortal

like Achilles or a deity

I make dozens of oaths of revenge

if Styx is on my side

I'll be like that old fart Achilles

invulnerable

that's if you believe it

for now    I will
