I am the dream-child Lilith Cloaked in haloed hungers The wind sings with her fingers Across my silk-fire heavens Angels' voices sigh And languish in my skirts I am the blasphemy of flowers Rife with tortured innocents The sun loiters long above My bed of four horizons Fat bees stumble drunken To and from me all day long Pour it all, all over me My soft stombata wait here Still and unerringly Each one a spinning succubus Each one a promise to swallow Your bloated dream selves whole I am waiting All alone The years go by The years are a horn Silently bellowing Time's mellowing Nothing I'm something Sweeter than desire I'm in the flame Licking higher I am the only one Who knows the name of God
