Swallowed

He swallowed When he saw she had bitten the forbidden fruit. He felt hollowed When he heard her say that its food would indeed suit. He soon followed When he thought of living forever without her. He swallowed And gazed on Paradise as the Breeze began to stir. He swallowed When he saw her naked, the beasts roaring within. He then borrowed Green fig leaves but they were clothed in sheepskins. He then sorrowed With their excuses receiving curses for their vice. He swallowed As they were driven with flaming swords from Paradise.
