Lilith Remembered

Once I hated you.

You patriarchs
with your systems of cruelty.
You and your sky gods
who abhorred
     Earth
and her children.
You suppressed our rituals,
you demonized our blood….
The very blood
    which
       brought
         you
to this sweet Earth
and gave you
the body you've used
    to rape us
    to beat us
    to keep us prisoners
          in the marriage of our worlds.

I wondered:

How could you do this to us ~
your Mothers, your Sisters,
your Daughters, your Lovers?
How could you
keep us veiled
mutilate our bodies
silence us….
I remember the slaughter
in Jericho
(a "dedication" to your sky god)
in Europe
(an "exorcism" of your devil)

Millions dead
for the theft of our land.
A holocaust
    silent
       mute
          unrecognized…..

Oh - I hated you!
   A hatred alive,
       and - oh, so dangerous…..

Now, I am remembering
that Time is cyclical.
The Moon shows me
how cycles work
from crescent to full to dark
and back again
and again
and again…..

I sigh ~
Perhaps this last cycle
    had to be??
Was this the dark part
of the cycle?
If so……tell me this:
Were you conscious
during the horror?
Or was you job
    so achingly painful
that you covered it
     with
Anger?
An anger so strong
that it kept
your brute strength
       vital
Because, surely
we of the Age of Mothers
would find a way
to fight back
to protect our children ~
you, being one of them.
