i have no idea where this came from. i had been feeling (inexplicably) alternately angry and depressed all day. sat down after work and this fell out, and now i feel fine - ready for sleep.

--- caught dreaming eve ---
you are all wrong
all
it was not
loneliness or
compassion or
wisdom
this was not my intention
on the first day, i woke up
caught daydreaming lust into the void
and the world fell from my palm
sweaty and shining with oceans and sky
before i could clean my hand
rub it into the sheets
and that was all
on the first day, i rested
exhausted
my forehead still wet,
stomach muscles still clenching
and slept six days
i am an incorrigible god
caught dreaming life into the world:
fetishizing genesis in
six long days of
evolutionary theory behind my eyelids
the origin of species quick like
sweaty backroom sex -
amoeba to biped
in a six-second climax
on the seventh day, i woke up
cold, fevered
and there she was
in all her voluptuous, leafless glory
peeling apples with her nails
and watching them turn brown
i remember: she was humming, unconvinced
while the fool at her side wiped his thighs
with her hair,
wove grass into underwear
and rhapsodized shame into the world
