"Persephone" by Amanda Pape
Lilac eyelids, mouth in peril
lying in lamenting snow
My malignant heart gone sterile
melting in your gauzy glow
Supple pink sorrow, naked breath
settled with the evergreen
Maiden still untouched by death
ripe and tender tangerine
I took you, without second thought
Your warmth to cauterize my wound
But you bruised like an apricot
Your fervor for me to consume
