his name steeped in blood,
from the hebrew root "dom",
the girl stood before him,
full of bad blood.
Eve, infected,
paradise somehow tainted pale,
the grey membrane of illness at the corners of its eyes.

The Garden of Eden smelled of death,
rotting fish,
rotting fruit.
Eve was a divine concubine,
a mere pawn sent,
temptation in its strongest form.

Blood smiled and drank from her
absorbed her honey
unaware of the dangers of temptation.
Adam died not long after.
Eve returned to Lucifer,
the golden angel charred.
