Eve’s Fault

God won her when he whipped out from his planetary sleeve
a bouquet of light. They watched the parade of animals pass.
He told her the joke about the Archaeopteryx, and she noted
the feathers and the lethal claws, a poem, the first of its kind.

Watermelon

A watermelon is like an onion:
layers give way to underneath
like a poem where words give way
to what is beneath.
