fall of (wo)man

you were born by the mountains

and I by the water

i watch your eyes 

and tell you about paradise lost and what it means

how it shapes the opinions of women

i am not eve

i fall far from temptation and am not delivered into evil

i ignore the toad by my ear while i sleep

i keep my mouth closed tight

and burn my tongue while you tell me your feelings on religion

you say eve was not so clever

she was clever enough to not fall alone.
