Demeter's Revenge

wicked thought that she
placed upon my breath
to fall in this place
at this time
with you

oh mother, mother
why must thou be this cruel
thrusting  
this beast of burden
within my heart

(did you consider carefully enough?)

death would be
kinder, more humane
in keeping with
the natural laws

(or is this the death you chose for me
      for all eternity?)

suffocating blindness
this gift of love
bitter irony the agony
what once was bliss
must now be
a fatality
