Jezebel
Jezebel, do you pray?
My lover, would you kneel on a pew
For a God who painted a picture
That you are ignominious,
A wretched woman unworthy of
Forgiveness. Do you pardon Mary
The virgin for being the perfectly
Crafted woman? Do you revere
Eve for her sin? When you painted your
Eyes red, and looked out that window
Did you know what they would call
You? Impudent and shameless, my
Wicked, unrestrained seductress,
The siren of my sea. The wolves did not
Intimidate you, my Jezebel,
They tore you apart but left your
Heart whole for me to rediscover.
