(by Suki Highers)
am sorry i ate the apple
but it was red delicious and beautiful
i am sorry that my act
(so human)
created that which we call sin
sin begat sin
murder
the first
brought on by jealousy
from greed
tell him that i
love him
even though
he has put us on this
train
toward death
but it was red beautiful and delicious
