when I last had a man I lost him in the infinite blackness of my hair

he was holding on grasping with his greedy hands when he disappeared somewhere around my vast hips I had sung my siren-song and he was gone

* * *

in the beginning there was my face-off with God and Adam I refused to serve His will I refused to tend the Garden clad only in my hair I refused to bathe with the animals I refused to be put on my back

instead, I sleep with the demons I travel through mirrors, through night I fly with the screech owl and the bat and carry the bodies of babies in my ragged fingers

--when I slip naked between your sheets beware that you do not lose your way--

* * *

witch that I am, I seduce your husbands I kill your newborns I drive your daughters into the night

* * *

you accuse me of these witchcrafts (banished me from Eden when I whispered His name from my heat into the balmy breeze)

so I live through others my insides are warm, fiery to the touch I wed through adultery I conceive through murder I love as you forbid your daughters to do the same sin is my life sin is my pathway to the world

* * *

does this mean I must be exorcised through your pretty trinkets, marvelous amulets the three angels can do nothing though I leave of my own free will

I do relish my flight my creation of so much darkness to combat the glaring light --just look into my eyes-- do you see me do you see through me do you see at all but I see you

* * *

just try to banish me again just try to keep your loved ones away from me just try to close the door to my cave the windows are your vanity your shame your longings for purity in blood-covered bodies I came First I had the First Man I danced with the First Cause

* * *

when I last had a man I swallowed him whole and he laughed with joy inside my belly
