Temptation

Temptation

I never knew Eve. Never spent time in her

garden or orchard. Any Eden, for that matter.

But I loved her from the time of my first

erection, first hint of manhood. My heroine

not because she gave the fruit to Adam,

not because she was the Matriarch of Rebellion,

nor because she blamed the serpent—

Because she opened the true gate

to Paradise in spreading for Adam.

And now there is but one portal to that

sweet, sweet unction of ecstasy . . .
