My dear readers,

For you, a poem and a photo from my travel, which will continue for a few more days. Thank you for reading.

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
You’ll drink from my cupped palms
The supplication prayers
Of those you’ve never met

Unknowing who I am,
The goddess’s veil will fall—
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
