debauch

possessed in ripeness,
this fruit of lore,
debauched from paradise
beholden, bitten.

she swelled with knowledge,
he knew better;
she swelled with longing
with him beside her.

possessed in ripeness,
the shiny fruit,
debauched in Eden
lured in temptation.

cast out together--
impugned and beaten--
bereft of dignity,
denounced from glory.

possessed in ripeness,
this fruit of ecstasy:
debauched by a serpent
beguiled astray.
