out of eden

out of eden 


the concept of what existed before 

had rotted with the apple


there were the pips


but there was no garden 

to plant them in

so we planted them in our hearts

and set off to search for our lost souls 

a gentle breath pushed us

along a precipice paved in mist


there is a wall 

so there must be a gate

between heaven and hell

there were two two-way mirrors

and we were in each others eyes

as was the question

that sought an answer


the length of that shadow was not lost upon us


stand back behind the rope

there is nothing to see here

move back  move back


who in an orchard of days 

let the goats in


let us chat over tea and jam creamed scones

for you have seduced me

the deckchairs are arranged 

and the sun is warm


this garden is not too bad while it lasts

is it

   is it
