Pomegranate seeds

For Laurie Michaels, with whom I share a throne, with whom we share thrones with so many others.

I majored
In Classics.
I did not think
Of Persephone
Except the six pomegranate seeds
She ate
In the Underworld.
They made her Queen
Of Hades.
What of the six seeds
She ate
In the world above.
Surely she had a throne
There.
Here.
There.
Here.
The crown moved
From the Underworld
To the Overworld
Until it all became
One world
Really
If we look
If we notice
Where the throne is
Today.
