Yes, this year you feel

at a loss, there is no Demeter

to whom to return

if for a moment you saw

yourself as Persephone.

It is she, Demeter, has gone

down to the dark.

Or if it is Orpheus drawing you forth,

Eurydice,

he is inexorable, and does not look back

to let you go.

You are appalled to consider you may be destined

to live to a hundred.

But it is April,

there is nothing unique in your losses,

your pain is commonplace

and your road ordained:

your steps will hurt you,

you will arrive

as usual
