Persephone's Wonderings
The hour is slim!
the time to entwine
with her and
with advantage inhale
the heavy offering
from between the jaws
of her open thighs.
Persephone's tasty flesh
renders her cleft
of wet truth-
she can slake this thirst
can assuage my ache
when enthralled against
the serpent earth
with legs knotted
we lay tangled
in ancient ruin.
