Push me against the broken glass, and penetrate my soul. Eyes like blue fire in winter electrify me whole. Grab me hard behind my head, and gobble up my skin. Lips like pink petals in springtime lock me in a spin. Pull me tight to your rocky flesh, and peek inside my moan. Hands like…

Out among the stars, Eve sleeps frozen in Eden. Awoken by a comet crash, her emerald world comes crumbling down. She rises from her foamy bed, shaking off a lifeless snake. Above her looms a metal sky,  around her, people dream in pods of paradise. Through the glass of Eden, beyond the galaxies of old,…
