Harmony and hope,
But did hope precede sin?
If hope is trust in deliverance,
What is hope before oblivion?
With all that was given, and only one restriction,
What a poor decision to revoke the perfect image.

and let us lie
still on this bed—
The sheets still wet
your heavy breath
your naked chest
your little death
my hand on yours
The room is dark
