Eve,
the first woman.
Mother to all,
daughter to none.
In the calmness of Eden,
lay Eve
as she heaved
at the pain in her stomach
and the pool of blood
that surrounded
her curled up body.
She was convinced she was dying.
There was nobody to explain
that she had become a woman.
She understood
that she was being punished
for the simple act
of having extra flesh on her chest
and different anatomy.
God and Adam laughed
down at her
proud as two drunk men at a bar.
With nobody to comfort her,
to tell her
that she was finally a woman,
Eve curled up on the floor of Eden
writhing in pain
in a pool of her own blood.
From that moment on,
she knew that Adam
would forever be God's favourite.
