Story Poem, Nr.11 — A Night With Eve In Paradise
A twinned memory invited me in
but there was more to it than that -
sneaky signs hinted at sin
soon dismissed as fake news
and thrown in the bin of convention
we sighed for a soft tonic of djinn
mistress of cellular strokes
raked away covering leaves
figuring new knowledge
laid flesh to considered intention
faced a place of origin
tongued a slithering snake
broke an imaginary law
as pawing fingers poked for more,
wrestling consciousness
cloud-moon connivance blanketed our moves
offering welcome cover of darkness
’til a shaft of light brought dawn -
grabbed an apple for breakfast
when a nosey and jealous surveillance god
said “On Yer Bike …”
and booting our backsides
slammed the gate shut
appointing two tattooed bouncers …
… so we legged it hand-in-hand
running free for a famed future
sketching immature thoughts
unaware of new life
already nestling in her peaceful womb …
and pulsing … pulsing.
