#before eve

Before Eve drew breath, before she knew the shape of her thighs and her pleasure and her sin, there was Lilith, made of the same soil and tumult as Adam. But she knew a strength Adam did not; she was not afraid of loving herself the way the Devil loved his pride. She first found herself in the Garden of Eden with a man she was told she must love. The language Adam gave her bound her tongue to the roof of her mouth, so Lilith taught herself a new language etched by her fingers on her body. She found her body to be a temple and her heart to be a garden. Watered not by the love of Adam or God, but from the love she gave herself. She abandoned Adam and the Garden when Eve was still a rib in Adam’s side. She took an angel to bed and mothered a demon before sunrise. She slipped through the cracks of Eden and wandered the world when it was empty. Her hands were leaving fingerprints on the earth before we took our first steps on land.
