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.

YOU
ARE A QONQUERER
; the
cities you waltz
into quaking
‘twixt your suffocating hold
. when the
sun has set & night
blankets the streets
you slink o’er
pavement , all
mesmeric smiles & charming
words . the people
respond , fall
into thy arms
to be turned
into bloodless corpses
& the morning
paper reads ;‘serial killer
on a rampage
!‘& it
is thee ! you
turn these cities
into your feeding
ground , make
it tremble ‘neath
your feet !they will
never catch you
!
sleek movements
, smile ready
‘pon ashen lips
, your eye
falls ‘pon a woman
, nay girl
exiting a
building . creak
of a door
, a lock
falling into place
. ‘ is it
not a bit
late for a
girl like you
to venture in
the night all
alone ?‘
a girl like you ,he says , and it’s a familiar song to her by now but still not one she’d like to dance to . she forgets , sometimes , that the armor she wears can only be seen by people looking for it . soft underbelly is hidden away , bleeding heart put in a paper bag & left in the drawer of a motel nightstand somewhere in mexico . it’s a wry smile that curves her lips upwards , a tilt of her head & tumble of blood - stain hair over her shoulder . petite hands tucked away in the pockets of her coat , freezing gunmetal & smooth wooden stake . ❝ is it ? ❞ tone cool & casual , like darkness didn’t settle hours ago , like she couldn’t feel it in her bones . ❝ must not’ve noticed . ❞ a quirk of her eyebrow , challenge clear in her gaze . ❝ what exactly do you think a girl like me ought t’ be doing right now , then ? ❞
