.
He suspended her
from the lowest branch
of the tree.
Naked and wet.
plump--
reddened cheeks
from the kiss of the sun.
once bitten--
the whole city
flipped over
-and it snowed...
nickles and dimes!

Someone asked me to tell them what I was thinking when I wrote this. I was thinking about when Eve bit that apple and it flipped the world on it's ear. The poem is actually speaking of inside of a snow globe. The nickles and dimes when the city flipped, come from loose change dropped in the sewers and on the sidewalks.
