you already know lilith’s story.
everyone knows lilith’s story.
& yet, somehow no one knows lilith’s story.
ladies & gentlemen: the problem.
& so she takes to weaving it from bits of tangled string unthreaded from swallows’ homes
with knitting needles newly found & freely flexed,
sharpened to a point by reality & the doings of man & the prefix wo-.
there’s much more to come,
but not much to be done.
& lilith knows it.
cleaning the kitchen again while watching all the counts rise,
she laments the theory of the first pancake
& offers a prayer to st. jude.
