Eden

I wish you were a boy.
I wish you were a girl.

...

We played
Human jigsaw
last night, on
a mattress of your Original Guilt, and
my confused affection,

and in the morning it was decided
that we must repent forever
for the temptations of
The people we were
Last night.

...

And now, you
and your green God impose
Exile.
But
You have your guilt to sustain you;
What have I?

...

Hello coldness my old friend.
