EArTh II
Sasha Siem
The problem was not in eating the fruit at all.
But in eating the fruit too soon.
And so our bodies became hard like spoons longing to be in something soft and juicy.
And for someone to come eat us whole - seeds, secrets and all.
But even before weapons were made from a woman's body
Sin and shame were used to shoot people down.
We seek fame to escape our shame but what do we do to ourselves?
What we do to ourselves we do to the earth.
A woman's body must be fed.
Instead we eat our hearts out.
