Demeter
Demeter concealed the hunger
of the place I was conceived
and I grew up with
my foremost concern:
the conflagrating sun
and the lonely hours of everlasting
freedom onto which
I attached my youthful
azure aspirations
hard to endure the peace
in my heart
difficult to
maintain my composure
before the gluttony of the archons
rebellious spirit that I was
since my infancy
unchained melody
when Demeter murmured
of executions ordered
horrible decapitations in churches,
and plazas filled by beggars
with their hungry arms extending
when the blood of my kin
was bought by the insatiable
foreign condors dropping
down to the decrepit
the silver dollars of deceit
