The sixth day —
we traced our bodies back
to the birth of advancement,
where man and man — sterile,
unadulterated — sniffed out
innocence from the tepid air.

You were fresh in aftershave,
doe-eyed at the apple on
my neck. Harbouring a
belabored genesis over
our backs, we hastened to poke
each other’s ribs, sense semblance of

concrete amidst our quake. Round
this neck of my woods, your lips swathed,
tangenting, ensuring never to lick the poison
deep in. Have the cake, don’t eat it.
Still, soon the rush cascading from me to you
prompted you to yield. You took a bite.
