And there never is a mention of Lilith. This is a wonderful lilt and not a haiku. Shame on you jajaja. A nice read Maureen after getting home from work. (PS: I think you should do "Navel Gazing". That has my mind popping like air blown popcorn.)

Ah, Miss Lilith. She was a game changer for me. Had a poem in the works for her... perhaps I will revisit. I have a tat with a Lilith tat ;) Thank you Jeff! For this, and that. xomo!
