Persephone, returned now an entire season,

Raises temperatures higher and higher

Scorching forests and crops across the land

Taking her fury out on mankind

As Mother Demeter becomes

Unbearable and smothering

Her longing for Hades grows

For the quiet beauty

Of her winter home

Far from burdens,

Fights, crying

The new

Norm
