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.
she doesn’t usually sleep well. it’s a side effect of xibalba, the nightmares that plague her when night falls. she wakes the next morning and it looks like she’s been bruised , dark purple circles beneath green eyes. she washes her face with water in a vain attempt to bring a little life to her face. a spray bottle of rosewater she keeps in her purse has helped a bit to reinvigorate her skin. she also has a face wash, pink grapefruit scented, and an eye cream (for the dark circles) that she stole from a grocery store. she hasn’t seen too many results, but it makes her feel like she’s taking care of herself, anyway. her favorite products are ones that smell nice, frankly. other than that she doesn’t really have a preference.
