Beneath the Green Tree

by Forever Jake

Incomplete. A reinvention of the story of the Fall.

1. The Poem

"Beneath the green tree"

In the garden of the stars

You were mine and I was yours

And we were both each others, ours

Beneath the green tree.

In the garden, it is true

You killed me and I killed you

And as we died I married you

Beneath the green tree.

The garden wilted, the earth was cracked

You struck me and I struck you back

And I saw red and you saw black

Beneath the green tree.

Beneath the stars, beneath the sky

As we fought I caught your eye

And you were dead and so was I

Beneath the green tree.
