My dear readers,

Eleusinian – Poem by Gabriela Marie Milton

Beneath the silence of the heated rocks,
Demeter harvests her lost tears,
Tonight, you will be hers, my dear,
Your body arting stones and souls

The ears of the corn will grow in silence,
Secrets of red sweetened lips
Falling to your knees
Youโ€™ll drink from my cupped palms
The supplication prayers
Of those youโ€™ve never met

Unknowing who I am,
The goddessโ€™s veil will fallโ€”
Revealing all that once was hidden,
Blooms of blushed and bluish mornings
That once were sacred
and now sleep
Inside the drunken silence
of museums

Eleusis, Greece, August 2025
