The Fall (2010)

I’m gonna make me a woman from your garden flesh.

I’m gonna sprout from your ribs.

I’m gonna **** your marrow dry and grow

And I hope that my bones will know your mouth too.

I hope that you taste the fertile dirt on my tongue;

It is silent, soil, and better

Than the words we do not say, but not better

Than your ribs under my flesh in Eden.
