from A Myth of Innocence

One summer she goes into the field as usual
stopping for a bit at the pond where she often
looks at herself, to see
if she detects any changes. She sees
the same person, the horrible mantle
of daughterliness still clinging to her.

The sun seems, in the water, very close.
That's my uncle, spying again, she thinks –
everything in nature is in some way her relative.
I am never alone, she thinks, 
turning the thought into a prayer. 
Then death appears, like the answer to a prayer.

No one understands anymore
how beautiful he was. But Persephone remembers.
Also that he embraced her, right there,
with her uncle watching. She remembers
sunlight flashing on his bare arms.

This is the last moment she remembers clearly.
Then the dark god bore her away.

– Louise Glück (2006)
