Lilith

Lilith

She had lost the imperative
to wish for traditional love,
with all its accoutrements –
marriage, children,
a leaky roof above
She had passed through
the chemical burn
of failed romance
and was now scarred,
disfigured,
too crippled to dance –
or so She said
But He could see
through the lie
And His eyes
as they traversed Her body
saw the way in
saw the tiny, minute scars
just under the skin
She was like an ancient canvas
of marble
Her milky surface
smooth and impeccable
with blue veins
and raised flesh
just visible
under the surface
He traced the veins
With firm fingertips
Licked the scars
Followed with a kiss
which carried with it
tragedy and entropy
birth and death
and as He entered Her
with a single breath
He moved worlds
within Her
and She rose
like a phoenix
opened like a lotus,
like a tomb
birthing beauty
like vines
from Her womb
