Demeter wailed and wept as her
fresh young daughter descended into
hell with a kidnapper king on her arm.

You, cowed in your failure and heavy
with guilt, held her tight. You damned the
girl, all because you weren’t fast enough.

But Persephone turned, pomegranate
juice staining her lips and chin and hands,
and smiled at you over her shoulder with
suddenly pointed teeth.

And you knew: she had taken hell
hostage, not the other way around.
