INSIDE THE GARDEN OF EDEN

By Julius Malah Matete Munthali Entering the garden of Eden Our language changed Our language tuned to murmurs, whispers and groans A language we fell in love with Exploring the garden of Eden Our breathing changed Our breathing became heavy and fast Much to our liking Settling in the garden of Eden Our lips danced to the melody of our kisses Our bodies intertwined to a rhythm only known to the gods
