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.
THE RAIN COMES down in sheets, and kate’s umbrella is broken. it’s what she gets, she guesses, for buying it so cheap at an open air market back in mexico. it takes about five minutes too long to force the thing open, & once it is she learns there’s a HUGE hole in it. great. gaze lifts & meets the other girl’s - half-smile dimples one cheek, preacher’s daughter shrugs & fits the broken thing into a trash can. a little rain never hurt, anyway. immediately blood-red hair is darkened & dampened, sticks to her cheeks & neck. ‘ one of those days, i guess. ’ / @glitterskinned
