'...He remembers what her hair tastes like when she leaves.'

'You’ll meet her, she’s very pretty, even though sometimes she’s sad for many days at a time. You’ll see, when she smiles, you’ll love her.'

-- Pan’s Labyrinth, Dir. Guillermo del Toro

"Persephone always brings

back a bouquet of roses

when she returns, greets

Hades with a long, drawn 

out kiss. She lets him bury

his Godhead in her red spring

locks while she dusts the soot

off of him.

The dead moan quietly in their

garden as Hades digs a new 

hole for the flowers.

Persephone dances and her body

spins away from him.

He remembers what her 

hair tastes like when she 

leaves."
