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.
