Sometimes

Sometimes when I
close my eyes
to see the darkness
that hides just beneath
my pale, red eyelids

Sometimes when I
stuff my fingers
into my ears to hear
the sounds of nothing

Sometimes when I
try to drown myself
in the soapy, lavender bath

I see the sunset in your eyes
I hear the tremor in your voice
I feel the flowers of your imagination on my skin...

Adam's fall

How do we know whether

Adam fell or jumped?

How do we know whether

Satan tempted Adam

or was tempted himself?

How do we know whether

the garden of eden,

was indeed better?
