Adam's Apple
What were you thinking,
that night
Do you not remember,
have no sight
Of kindness
youth,
sensitivities
dark rooms where you became of me
To joke of things,
under sheets
As if the years,
void, complete
wrapped up in,
a iron shield
have you no heart to yield
For other men,
they’re atmosphere
You thought,
I’d laugh, or would I fear
Equate
Size
Width
Strength
Was that the proof of years? …You think?
To finally come to flesh,
the end
of insecure
defense of sin
I thought of what you said that night
No shame,
in your
passage right
then Adam took fruit from tree
unpure
he felt alive
and free
