The Fall
by Sophia Potter
·
Wicked smile
and pointed teeth
my daddy wears me like a wreath
my angel son
my Hanuman
he's black and smoking
like a gun
And with Adam's head upon
a pyre
God set ablaze the holy fire
of Lilith's love
of her desire
The virgin queen she died alone
without her baby or her throne
Oh Inanna, sends her best
and Enki finally comes to rest
father, dear,
have no fear!
will you lick my face of tears?
Lucifer he came and went
searched the cosmos for her scent
so Lilith left,
made her
descent
she tamed the demons
made them pets
Her heart is sang into the depths:
I love you
more for what you are
a wild dog,
a devil dire,
the angel's cried when you came down
oh God has lost his favorite hound!
And Lucifer he got undressed
upon his lady love's request
