eve & paradise

i cup the sunlight in my palms &

it burns to the touch. pain has never

felt so sweet & savory like chocolate

dripping down my fangs like fresh grass

& vines & bloodstains.

god & his angels & lucifer

don’t know what to do as i swallow

the knives they made to destroy

me & cackle with how they sting.

CHAOS & BEAUTY & DEATH

are words i learned from this garden

& i don’t intend on parting

with any of them,

for i am Eve & this

is my wretched Paradise

& i am here to stay.
