eve becomes SNAKE -- or snake becomes EVE. whichever way ROUND, she is FREER. hell follows her ‘round, hell called MAN, hell called ADAM, trying to make the CHANGING about him. adam demands of god why he is being PUNISHED like this. eve finds GRACE in the dark cracks between rocks. eve finds god in the SOLITUDE. eve finds ABSOLUTION in the red press of her knees / scales into the dirt. eve, UNBLINKING, watches adam rail. adam demands ANSWERS and eve / snake / eve exits the GARDEN to go and find them for HERSELF.
RICHIE AND KATE are both awake, more often than not, at night. richie for burn in the sunlight like a sinner on judgement day reasons and kate because she can’t sleep without dreaming. it wouldn’t be so bad if they were the dreams she used to have, weird happenings costarring her friends & family and the odd celebrity. no, these are filled with fire and blood-red eyes, the voice of her mother and the queen of hell echoing in the emptiness. kate’s not in control when she sleeps. so she sits in the courtyard of the motel with the man. sometimes they talk, sometimes they don’t. tonight it’s one of the former. ‘ hey, richie ? ’ she begins, voice soft as it rings through the humid mexican air. ‘ do you still smoke ? ’ / @fatecrossed
