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.
like a lion in its cage , she paces round the motel room . feeling too big for her body as he sits cleaning his gun . steady . methodical . she doesn’t let her gaze linger too long on his hands , cause she’s already thinking about it . as far as she’s concerned , this has been a long time coming : it’s just the matter of putting it into words . sit down , he tells her , a little annoyed with the repetitive movement , her skittering movements across the floor . she doesn’t do as he says , though , instead stands before him with gradually pinkening cheeks & arms crossed over her chest . trying to seem stronger than she feels , sturdier , like there’s no hesitation , nothing for her to be worried about . ❝ seth . ❞ how patiently she says his name , pauses to wet her lips . are the nerves obvious in her eyes ? ❝ seth , i —- need you t’ do somethin for me . ❞ / @runsthick
