“Everything lost is found again…

… Everything hurt is healed again”

for K.S.

Persephone descends

her mother weeps abysmal

the world turns dark and cold

Shadows creep into corners

Corners wend and wind

and the figures reflect the maze and confusion

the cave becomes stifling and familiar

sleep blackness descent soma

Demeter listens

her daughter stirs bewildered

the sky is sharp and blue

Sunlight reaches and touches everything

Everything stretches and searches instinctively

aching toward the light

and the people experience

the breath and communion

beauty piercing and vital

awakened verdant passionate divine

and young
