Lillith Sayeth Clitoris
Poetry by Emma Goldman-Sherman
jewel
fool
knob-job
love-bud
pearl girl
suck-hub
hum-dinger
swinger
good lingerer
love button
little hill
bittle vittel
lilac treat
teat-to-eat
kernel of wisdom
to maketh some heat
sweet spot
to geteth me hot
sugar plum
that getseth me done
ringeth my doorbell
beforeth you come
in—around—beside
for wideth release
our negative connotations
clitoris wantseth
a celebration with you
to heareth your pants
let’s clappeth our hands
let’s doeth a dance
let’s taketh a chance
on my clitoris
on your clitoris
beyond romance
to feelingeth feeling
