Garden of Eden by Yonsiri Rojas

Garden of Eden

Yonsiri Rojas

lulling sunbeam through the boughs
soothing ballad of a plum-haired doll
hazy notes of pure joy

her naked feet wet in fresh spring
icy water against bare sweet skin
a dim lonely shadow dancing to the sun

gauzy white dress softer than
dandelions blown to an open sky
otherworldly feeling of redemption

a honeyed fragrant apricot in milky palms;
juicy flesh that gently stains her wrists
consume its almond-like pit, enjoy and die

About the Podcast

One Poem Only
I'm Maggie Devers, and each day I'll read you a poem-nothing more, nothing less. No analysis, no noise-just a little space to listen.
A daily reading. A quiet moment. One poem, center stage: just for now, just for you. A one-night-only show, in verse.

Come back tomorrow. The curtain rises again.
