I often visit the Tree
Untangling from fiber as living flesh
Serpent tongue
Eve’s inner ear wishes
Whispering sweet nothings
Washing away memory of earlier gods
She tastes Adam’s apple
Flesh so like yet so unlike her own
This is not transgression this
Is life seeking its own godhead
Swallowing its own tail

Elmer and Bugs, Sylvester and Tweety, Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote
Looney Toon Socratic Method
Hunt and pursuit but never any capture
Also Strindberg’s eternal war between the sexes
