goddess of the harvest (Free verse) by calliope i hugged a girl with no bones today.
i guess she was deaf too to boot.
she pulled me in like a sunken ship.
and i lay like wreckage afoot.
her boyfriend
shot pellets of lead through his
flute.
to punish her for her cheating.
i hopped on an elevator
to arrive at his paramount.
where she once must have seen him.
i hugged that girl with no bones,
only cartilage. and coughed when
she finally released me.
she obviously didnt hear
the word i whispered into her ear.
"persephone"

Persephone was the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, abducted by Hades (Pluto) to be his wife in the lower world: identified with the Roman Proserpina. How is she goddess of the harvest? Otherwise, I like this.

Um, mythologically. Her 9-month return to earth from Hades corresponds with the growing season. And Demeter is also a harvest-goddess.

i was referring to her seasonal return, of course, then i thought i'd throw pan in for good measure. that's where i really screwed it up.
Very odd.
