gotham's garden
when god made the garden of eden
and told eve
to never eat from the apple tree’s
red, red fruit,
what he should have said to adam
was never touch the vines
that curl around the bark.
never mind the snake.
and never mind adam, eve,
because lilith is right there
and craves your touch.
with her by your side, eve,
you can stay in the garden forever
and eat all of the apples you want.
forget about adam.
he only turned to you
because god made eve for adam.
he’s the true serpent of the garden, anyways.
and while eve doesn’t need to be adam and eve
or even eve and lilith
it’s also rather nice
being by lilith’s side.

This poem's subject is tricky. It was technically supposed to be about Pamela Isley, also known as the Gotham villain Poison Ivy, but I ended up focusing more on the perspective of Harley and how Pamela was there for her after she left the Joker. I originally meant for this poem to be about how Pamela created a green sanctuary in a heavily polluted city.
I'm just too much of a Harlivy shipper, I guess.
(They are canonically in a relationship, by the way!)
