Brigid Poetry Festival

My contribution to the Sixth Annual Brigid Poetry Festival is from Eating in the Underworld, by Rachel Zucker.


Persephone by
Dante Gabriel
Rossetti


Note [Hades to Persephone]


   Spin to breathe.
   Only the still world passing
   as you flee reminds you to
   fill and empty lungs
   when you have forgotten
   how to blink.








Here's another...
And here are some more...

    Glad I checked in. I forgot today was the day. I think it'll have to wait until I get home.

    I love the verse you chose.

    Would that be spinning yarn from fiber or spinning about bodily?

    It seems so true and yet. Wow.
