Soft lean light
lifts what you left.
Autumn winds down
to bitter brown.
Your careful hands
dig towards home.
All others who tried
fall into old gods.
Dark Hades waves
his hard hand under water.
Trace a small circle
of pomegranate seeds.
There is only the color
of red fruit on my lips.
Wait while I hide
until my own mother
finds me here.
