A peom dedicated to Lilith
I am Lilith, Grandmother of Mary Magdalene
I am Lilith, whose sexual fire was too hot for God.
I am Lilith, the First Woman, who chose the rage of exile over the cancer
Of servitude.
I am Lilith, Mother to the Mother-less.
I am Lilith, whose blood covers the moon.
I am Lilith, standing on owl's claws at a woman's .
Temple.
I am Lilith, whose serpentine tongue caused Eve to laugh, and pick the apple!
I am Lilith, Revolving Sword of Flame – scorching hypocrisy from truth's white bones.
I am Lilith, free-moving in the Wilderness.
I am Lilith, spirit of night and air.
I am Lilith, in whose dark caves transgressors find sanctuary.
I am Salome.
I am Morgan le Faye.
I am the Queen of Shayba –
My hair is black, and I am 'dark but comely',
(Solomon sang my song!).
My hair is red and my skin, ivory.
I am Eve's big sister.
I am Lilith, Mother to the motherless.
I am Lilith, whose sexual fire was too hot for God.
I am Lilith, living in the Shadow.
Waiting. For you.
