Bringing Mae Flowers

 I believe that Persephone ate the apple,

And Eve ate the pomegranate seeds.

The cost of knowledge and power,

Was the taste of red fruit on a woman’s lips.

The Queen of Death and the Mother of Life:

The renewal of Spring followed by the Fall-

One in the same, their choices were made,

and the price was well paid.

Humanity begins and ends in women’s domain,

Does it matter which fruit they ate?
