Lilith

Lilith

I have been purified
in retrograde, the flesh,
bone taken back
to something connected
with unblemished earth,
when she came,
first as a serpent
   then as a woman,
I didn't understand,
arms bound by the dark aspects
of feminine, throat open,
inhaling everything close.
I need the cyclical bleed,
to use that energy to cleanse
the dimensions of this shift,
to burn the shadows of repression,
to take cellular fingerprints
of possession and cast them out.
I have been stunted for some time now,
stunned by my own unleashed soul,
- to be gifted Lilith for strength,
for her to come before the New Moon,
to teach me self worship,
to heal the ancient wound,
to take out the torture
and then leave it clean,
night white, unafraid,
stained by a Goddess,
bathed in divine.
