Game That Never Ends

Now she feels the house shake with revelation 
that soon the gods of clouds will become human 
then reorganize nations of the world 
through cooperative puzzle of desire 
to build cities in the deserts of fear 
with new capital of the world on Greenland. 

If Belphegor demands with haughty voice 
that she make him sandwiches after work, 
Lilith laughs at his face with kind derision 
that transforms him into statue of gold 
forever slouched on the soft couch of sloth 
to watch with joy the game that never ends. 

Breathing deep ethereal wisdom of trees, 
Lilith floats past windows where people live 
twenty thousand leagues under sea of faith 
to judge their behavior of stealing dreams 
with calm indifference of the global nurse 
who tends to the sick and wounded in war. 

Refusing to obey with slavish voice 
the devil who demands she work for him, 
Lilith transforms into the bat-winged frog 
who wears fake crown of ambiguities 
with energetic passion to succeed 
escaping dependency on regret. 

Book of Suspicious Ghosts, her mother wrote 
before she transformed into the wise turtle, 
disperses pages into flower petals 
that swirl around people as memories 
they lose when they get drunk and curse the gods 
who lounge with indifference on soft couches. 

The moral impasse she investigates 
diverts attention of the humble fool 
to miss the secret code of soul rebirth 
written with blood on mirrors of Versailles 
which reflect every version of her soul 
whom she becomes as she makes different choices. 

She holds his gaze for twenty thousand years 
till Belphegor releases her from prison 
and crowns Lilith as new Queen of the Damned 
so she has god power to resurrect 
souls of artists from projects they create 
who never say anything meaningful. 

Locked in the cemetery with her lover, 
Lilith takes Belphegor to the dark forest 
where she explains how bodies generate 
new life from seeds and eggs of arrogance 
who speak with new voices of ancient gods 
transforming hatred to enchanting hymns.
