Garden of Eden by Yonsiri Rojas
Garden of Eden
Yonsiri Rojas
lulling sunbeam through the boughs
soothing ballad of a plum-haired doll
hazy notes of pure joy
her naked feet wet in fresh spring
icy water against bare sweet skin
a dim lonely shadow dancing to the sun
gauzy white dress softer than
dandelions blown to an open sky
otherworldly feeling of redemption
a honeyed fragrant apricot in milky palms;
juicy flesh that gently stains her wrists
consume its almond-like pit, enjoy and die
