GEMINI WOMAN
Oh, Gemini woman,
twin demon lover.
Are you succubus or Lilith
come to steal or serve my nights?
Between the flames
of skin and soul, I wait.
Cooled and burned
wresting with your form.
In the seventh house
of fire and water
Hurling through Limbo
with Paolo and Francesca
Wailing at a mouth
of honeydew and milk
I tell the twice-told tale
of Paradise and Hell.
