    The Inferno Will Swallow Itself

    Uploaded by

    ElenaDrake
    This 3 sentence poem describes a woman who inspires violent lust like the biblical figure Lilith rather than Eve. She is portrayed as an inferno that sparks passion in others but is not eternal or divine like an angel's choir. The speaker acknowledges that neither they nor the woman are eternal, but asks that they be allowed to "burn in peace" together in the present moment.
