Badger Down the Sun

Persephone’s pomegranate

His impossible hand plucks one fruit from the shadow-garden
That white hand, washed in the waters of forgetting, whose hands cause waters to forget
Love’s arrow flayed the god of endflesh rode out on four black horses to take a queen
To tie another knot in the snake

In the wind-strewn fields Proserpine knelt, narcissus in her hair
The dark lord rode upon her like a storm
Upward she looked into that magnificent shadow, ocean of shadow, and reached her arms up
He ravished her on the backs of his steeds
Pounding their hooves and snorting in the breeze

The ground peeled forth and
Downward they dove
To that Antipodean realm where those whom life has lost find another sort of life
Beneath a sea of earth
After that she forgot everything but those Plutonic hands
Hands which unwove her in that unwoven realm
And she sat high upon a throne whose mantle was of bone
The sky shudders
Eat of this, my beloved
A globe the size of a heart, and colored so
Which rolls from his hand into hers
She holds its subearthly weight
The worlds, in the form of wild animals, hold their breath
Spreading in the palm
A crimson stain
Kore bites the seed-fruit
And winter pours out

Oh mother’s mourning, all green shoots shrivel under grief’s white cloak
Demeter finds her alone in the field
Her mouth marooned open
A burgundy smear across lips, teeth
And beneath her skin, which is become a bridge of flesh joining worlds, beneath her skin
pulses pomegranate red

Now death and life are sworn, they share the nuptial bed
Bed open in the middle onto stars
Shimmering there in the void
Now life’s got a hole in it bigger than itself
And death, death with its black lips, sweeps close in to earth
And drinks in light
So that the underneath world grows suprisingly illuminated
Colors flood into that darkness
First red, mixed with darker, motherblood of all colors, then the rest
Like a banner streaming before the sun
Follow that purple, that purple stain
