imaginary fantasies

“can I, –
just for a second, –
treat you
like a piece of meat -”
“it’s not that i want
anyone to ever think of you
that way, you know?”
“it’s just that, god damn,
your earthly form
leaves me breathless
and I see god all over
you.”
“and when you speak,
I hear the kindness
of those who’ve escaped death
in camps of wire people,”
“but your eyes see the world
for the first time, in gritty filth and scum,
and find purpose in the beautiful”
“Don’t you think it ashame
to not allow the world
some entrance into your
garden of eden?”
she smiled and stood,
turning slowly
without the lid to stop her
circling with the gears
of life and glowed in its mirror,
“No.”
“there was only adam & eve”
