Persephone


I want to kiss your lips to stave off

the underworld,


to remain here on lush green earth.

I am tired of long journeys and dark tunnel


visions of men who want to possess me.

I am tired of death.


Your mouth is like fruit, like seeds,

like something growing, like pomegranates


split open, juicy, luscious-but Love,

even you are a slide towards the abyss,


even you lead me to lands

where nothing blooms.
