What is judiths fancy by audre lorde about?

In Audre Lorde’s poem, “Judith’s Fancy,” the speaker (presumably Judith) finds solace on an autumn night from the trials of everyday life with a female lover. They engage in physical intimacy as a source of comfort and escape from an often hostile patriarchal, heteronormative world which the poem describes as being governed by the moon, a lunar symbol denoting feminine and goddess power associated with witches from premodern times that is often used by Lorde. Additionally, Judith’s Fancy draws heavily from Shakespeare; notably his works Romeo and Juliet and Sonnet 30 to create the theme of escape and comfort within love.
