“You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.”

“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman.

“For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

-Genesis 3:3-5

  • A pressure in my head now unbearable

    I scream, louder than I ever thought possible.

    My voice fills the empty space

    reverberating against the walls of eternity.

  • So sweet is the taste of the fruit forbade

    Fresh off the branch

    Fresh off the stem

    Unblemished

    Unsullied

    Untainted

    Teeth rip through skin

    Rot begins to set in

    Sweet turns to sour in a fruit once tasted

  • I start laughing.

    I can’t help it.

    It’s so funny.

    So damn funny.

    God, it is so fucking funny.

    I can’t stop laughing.

    Gripping the shard even harder, my shoulders shake from laughter and euphoria enters me.

  • I caress the rotting fruit

    My body is silk

    A brush swirling through paint

    My claws drawing shudders

    Hooks sinking into skin

    Entangled in my essence

    Ensnared in my ambiance

    Eager prey submits so willingly
