III<br />
Lilith grows a tree<br />
sleeps in its hollow<br />
with mopokes and poppied hemlock<br />
Its roots are serpents<br />
Her arms and bony fingers reach up splintering<br />
through limbs<br />
ruby amulets glisten like fruit.<br />
IV<br />
Through the centuries:<br />
Lilith whispers to Circe<br />
Who whispers to Medea<br />
Who whispers to Morgan Le Fay<br />
to all bearded hags and to Hecate<br />
who slither like snakes<br />
to all Malkin women<br />
(From the author’s collection Wilderness of Skin, published by Yaffle Press, <strong>July</strong> <strong>2019</strong>)<br />
