‘I Know Where She Is’

Perhaps I should have been

more delicate,

but I could not see a mother

in so much grief.

She reminded me too much

of my own mother.

Demeter looked up

and for a moment,

I thought she would turn me

into ice with her gaze.

Instead, she got up

and moved towards me,

hands on my shoulders

as, wild-eyed, she shook me.

‘Where is she?’

Oh Hades…

What have you done?
