Eve must have been so scared
Taking that first bite.
Knowledge dripping down the corners of her mouth with each rebellious swallow.
And with each bite,
Thirsting for more knowledge.
She could’ve stayed in “paradise”
But I believe something in her knew it was a lie.
The first display of female intuition and defiance.
Once consumed, her seven sisters sewed her a blanket of leaves to keep her warm.
They welcomed her without judgement,
For she had chosen to change.
She rejected the life of the obedient woman,
for one imbued with the power to shed her skin and give life to man.
