Down my spine is a serpent and an eye
for an eye clinging
to my throat.
Hung like I, he hangs off me.
He waits a pet,
a pet. But this body
is Motherless and
empty, empty, empty!
Bleached of sin,
forgiveness is in the mercy of the
hand that strokes.
I will fall into temptation,
but you – you will not.
Your Hell hath no Fury and
in Paradise
you will watch me,
and you will call me
Lilith
because you, my Adam,
and you, my pet,
submit to me.
