It was painful for both of us, When you clawed at his ribs Searching. Your fingernails tearing out the calcium in his bones.
And his bones became my muscles, And the muscles became my skin,
And i was naked, and he and you were pleased.
He and i were on ambivalent terms, But we knew we were there because you Wanted us to be. And we knew that was why The fruit and animals existed; And these were good things, we Enjoyed them.
Later I'd blame the snake. He reeked of knowledge; I was interested, I didn't know they'd use my story as an excuse To pound curiosity out of woman.
I ate the apple Its juice dribbled down my chin,
I realised things.
He ate the apple too; you were angry at us. And i committed the original sin. I realised that even though you had made the world And me as a plaything,
My body would be a vessel for a new species. And they would take This earth from you.
