Come Now Lilith

Come now Lilith
Bring me your song
Tear at the veil
That cleaves right from wrong
Come kneel at the gate
Through which all life must pass
We'll braid ourselves in tapestries
Of color, creed, and class
You came and were sent away
With a rib fashioned from wood
You submitted to our questions
We were well understood
Come now Lilith
Let us entertain
The thought of Ashkenazi
Roaming freely on the plains
Let us walk the length of tables
Where the great women have dined
Offer a bouquet of flesh
For the funeral in your mind
As I heard you call to me
From where your sisters once stood
I could've listened to you forever
You were well understood
Like an empire breaching your walls
Like branches yielding to your fall
Like Lazarus rising from his grave
To plunge through the crest of your wave
Come now Lilith
And feel yourself free
To contemplate the mysteries
Of the holy trinity
Come dance this waltz softly
Show us your jeweled feathers
We'll tangle these verses
In the sweet altogether
The littlest of deaths
Can do a soul good
And your beauty, dear Lilith
Is well understood
