The skin bursts juicy and fragrant around the tender white fruit inside
filling my mouth and my head with a delicious knowledge and sense of ripening power
i can feel the beat beat beat of my white heart darkening to red then to black the beat beat beat that takes me from ignorance to enlightenment
the delight of the fruit and its incredible taste not comparing to the joy of the sin the rebellion filling my heart quickly turning from ignorance to utter bliss
Punishment we can never overcome, upon us and all my descendants, a secret pleasure of disobedience becoming rooted in our mouths, brains, hearts for all eternity
in this land of gods I have created a monster, the world of angels and unnamed animals a place of serpents, sagacious humanity, and beautifully intermingled immorality

Sin, shaping itself smoothly around the core i hold in my *******, has made me wise and in my own eyes I am the Gods and Monsters in this Eden made of blindness and willful naivety
