ABYSMAL DERELICTION
It was Obi Wan Kenobi and you?
Is that what you said? I thought I'd
heard something like that - you
were coming down the stairs of
the third-floor landing and the
guy alongside you was scowling.
I couldn't understand why, nor
whether or not this was some
old-time bar, or a brothel. Where
you worked? How in the world
did that get started? No wonder
I hadn't seen you in 20 years.
-
Once I called you Lilith. The
Hebrew Bible lists you as Adam's
first wife! Before Eve, and made
from the same clay as Adam!
One big handful of something.
-
I'd call it, too, I guess, a form of
predestination. John Calvin can
grow all the horns he wants, but
this beast lurks. Slouching now
towards a Bethlehem, indeed.
