Lilith

Rose-petal lips, first quarter-moon forehead, galaxy face Dimpled chin, button nose, flimsy jaw, eyes with a wild gaze Skin that lures and intoxicates, like Tawny Port wine She's divine. She's benign. She's also a sign of decline. Created from the dust, she should go back to the dust too. A bunch of pride and as tentative as the morning dew Was she Adam's wife? Was she Lucifer's wife? A goddess? For values, virtues, and vices, she is a prophetess. Snake, owl, lioness, and queen of hell, mother of Charlie Signs of courage, femininity, and equality Dominion over the mysteries of the night and day Lilith is the laurel, wreath, and bouquet in every way.
