Averna’s Spring

The first spring Persephone is back

She responds to Averna as her name

Demeter knows the Underworld has a knack

For never letting things be the same

Hades had corrupted her wildflower girl

Disrupted Persephone’s growth into full-Spring Goddess

The iron crown on her head, a dark reminding whirl

To reject her power now would be immodest

Winter comes again, Persephone has to go

To her husband, to her power

To her kingdom down below

Where only life she designs flowers

Persephone, infernal Goddess of Earth

Life and death both bring you mirth
