Lilith
by Oscar Martínez
Grinding to the moon,
Beheading the men
Your arms are red
Emancipated and foreign
All your daughters
Hungry priestesses!
Entry to the sea,
Cosmic vagina,
Luminous night and sleeplessness!
Careless to the dawn:
Kidnaping! Victory!
Chant to the Sun
Violated Selene,
Tamed woman,
You allowed everything!
Submitted, accomplice
of ivory bosoms
Of priestess to priest
Aberration to see you!
converted and parishioner
You know Aton's singing
All this time forgotten!
Goddess Lilith...
I will adore you
