fruition

you must keep in mind
everything i relate is hindsight
for until i breathed air i had no words
only visions...

i do not know how long i swam in the blue sea
that is the mind of god
i was warm and sightless
floating mute
as countless stars and the dust of planets
swirled about me
but i dreamed

i do not know how
with no knowledge of the earth
i saw what i did in the mind
i didn't know was a mind
but i did

my dreams were always
the same dream
i was standing in a garden
with one tree in it
a tree that reached to heaven
with branches naked
(as was i)
except for one
and from that one
hung a solitary apple

and in this garden were fantastical plants
and flowers and other things
that even today i cannot name
and the ground was littered
with leaves and fallen apples
that lay melting into the earth
and the sky was a haze of blues
shot through with colors i later came to know
as dawn

and in its silence floated small orbs
pearls of color couched in clouds
i do not know what they were
for they did not resemble the stars
that surrounded me in my watery nursery
perhaps they were the unused thoughts
of god

and then the apple on the tree spoke my name
eve
it whispered
eve
it hissed

and that was all
until i was made flesh
and found myself standing with another
like me but different
and god spoke to us
and led us to the tree with the apple

and though we were forbidden to touch it
i knew the apple was meant for me
and nothing could keep me
from tasting the sweet white flesh
wrapped in the scarlet skin
of that last living apple
that had called my name
