A poem by Merve Tarhan

I am Persephone,
Queen of Underground.
Today,
I am back.

Perhaps you looked with mercy,
perhaps you thought
I was lost in the dark.

I moved through cities
no mouth dares name.
I walk barefoot,
drawing a dark dance
through shadows
you never faced.

Everyone walks
their own dark.
I move through the world’s.
And if you ask what I see there, I tell you:
nothing more than a funeral
dressed in confetti.
