You can't unbite an apple -- I'm sure that's what Eve must've thought. But it's very true. A little meditation and photoplay on the desire for forbidden fruit. Pictures and commentary at blog.amynelsonhahn.info
Not of that tree
Is it true?
was all our simple sweetness
thrown aside to find
what possible pearl
lay beneath your stalwart skin?
Could we have seen within,
and known the deeper woes --
the tillage of the fields,
the shuddering of the grower
if the rains come hard or light --
we should have famished at the sight
or moved on in dumb design.
But so the story folded
and took that sin again;
no merchant sealed it with a coin
yet the soul of peace was sold
leaving only diffidence within.
