Ted Hughes (England, 1930-1999)

Theology


No, the serpent did not
Seduce Eve to the apple.
All that’s simply
Corrupcion of the facts.

Adam ate the apple.
Eve ate Adam.
The serpent ate Eve
This is the dark intestine.

The serpent, meanwhile,
Sleeps his meal off in paradise-
Smiling to hear
God’s querulous calling.
