i.
how is hell, my dear?

does hades treat you like the blossom

you are?

do you miss your mother?

who casts grey skies on us again,

the colours of your meadows following

you underground

white snow like ashes freezing over

the grass you used to love,

is this pit in the ground your salvation?

ii.

why did you eat the pomegranate, my heart,

when you knew the consequences?

do you breathe better buried under the dirt?

iii.

tell me, Persephone,

what is it like to have a crown in one hand

and divinity in the other?

have you learned to wear strength and darkness

equally well?

or have you always been half goddess, half hell?

or have you always been half goddess, half hell?
