kalistae

persephone is keeping her beauty for me 
in a black box. fetching from under the ground.
a wake for the winter fruit, its waxing collection of bloods.

the only notes you know are devils' tones, you
sound a ferocity. but isn't your sex an evening apple halved,
an algae bloom, dripped, as low light. no virgin merciless.
and what is left of you, anemones.
