Eve Undone
Among the lilies oh so white,
Naked to the morning light.
I sit and watch creatures all,
The snake, seminal, although so small.
The globe of red I offered him,
A sin of greed in shadows dim.
The garden sweet, we must leave.
Oh sweet innocence , how we grieve.
And how it lingers , through all these years,
Our tale of love, and sex, and all its fears.
Yikes.. for my Adam...HG
