  • an asphodel in the dark
    Persephone

    She claws her way out

    of hell, Cerberus howling

    breeze warms frigid air

    Young buds stretch for blossoming

    birds fluttering in the trees

Warrior on the Beach [a poem]

Pulling dreams down from the heavens, she

lifts the world off her shoulders for a breath of

salty-sea air, unsheathing and driving down her sword

into golden sands. A moment to rest, a breath to life.
