lilith and eve

lilith and eve

and yes, you were made from his rib

but why is it your hip fits certain in my hand

pale like a shell

you could be so much more than this

you are so golden

delicate

i fear i may be too rough and break you

when he does not look you turn to hold my cheek

and i say

‘i wish i came from you like you did from him. 

i want you to feel

how much you fill me up'

so you took my lip in your teeth

and you said

‘you taste like apple.'

and you said

‘now we are free.'
