The Truth Of Poison

One bite
that’s all it took
the sweet
the tang
down their throats
spreading
slithering
through their organs
coiling
in their brains

Lungs
rattling
the air
becoming fuller

The apple of their eyes
ripens red

Suddenly
the garden
is so small
the tree
is not enough

They lose
a false paradise
and gain

everything
