𐀬 All Father's Song 𒅊

by Sophia Potter

I am ready to sleep and nap and curl up into a little ball.

I have been ferrying a lot of damned souls into the underworld.

Perse 𐀬 Phone is a cruel mistress

She begs and pleads for me to never leave

and complains of how she hates the Spring

She complains of her Mother most of all

Demeter 𐀮 and her beauty and bounty

Demeter 𐀮 with her ample apple blossom orchard

Demeter 𐀮 with her measuring tape and blue dress

An exhausting woman 𐂠

A black woman 𐂗

A woman made of devilish intentions and quiet rage

A creature of beauty and hate

The Harvest Moon
