What if God would have said: <\/span>Thou shalt not eat from any fruits of the garden.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Would we then, have slowly died?<\/span><\/p>\n

measuring out the time of starvation, cramming our passion and love and pain<\/span><\/p>\n

into a fig season,<\/span><\/p>\n

a transformation of green bulbous beauties<\/span><\/p>\n

into purple skins<\/span><\/p>\n

that shred beneath our fingers –<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You crush the little seeds<\/span><\/p>\n

with your thumb,<\/span><\/p>\n

forgetting that it is they<\/span><\/p>\n

who will decorate our freshly dug graves.<\/span><\/p>\n

But of these fruits you shall eat freely: Passion and Love and Pain.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

No food touches our lips; instead we feel<\/span><\/p>\n

the lightness of air upon our cheeks,<\/span><\/p>\n

and your lips are sucking me like a raspberry.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The fig leaves crumble.<\/span><\/p>\n

They look – “Parched”,<\/span><\/p>\n

you try to say,<\/span><\/p>\n

but your lips are shriveled up like dry figs,<\/span><\/p>\n

so I move our bed into the center of the garden.<\/span><\/p>\n

The apple-tree blossoms<\/span><\/p>\n

slowly turn into fruit,<\/span><\/p>\n

a harvest neither one of us will see.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The figs fall gently<\/span><\/p>\n

into the brown earth<\/span><\/p>\n

as you and I will fall<\/span><\/p>\n

into the dust,<\/span><\/p>\n

decaying into each other<\/span><\/p>\n

like the purple pulp that lines the pathway to –<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What if God would have said nothing at all?<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":78255,"id":78255,"title":"mic4-grapes
