Favorite Poem: Conversations with Persephone
Nikita Gill, Conversations with Persephone
I asked Persephone,
"How could you grow to love him?
He took you from flowers to a kingdom
where not a single living thing can grow."
Persephone smiled,
"My darling, every flower on your earth withers.
What Hades gave me was a crown
made for the immortal flowers in my bones."
