Lilith

The daytime dreamer is always so beautifully alive
in her mind.
But, she looks so cold -
on the outside; like an aged book
with a cracked spine.
According to legend, Lilith was Adam’s first wife. She had demanded to be treated as his equal and was not given her request - so she left him. God sent three angels after her to bring her back by force, but she did not go with them.
Dear Adam,
Do you remember the garden?
Does the wind take you there still?
In waves and hurricanes of memory and emotion, does that land there return?
