Forbidden FruitApr 04, 2008 - 17:50 PM PST Forbidden Fruit Translucent shades silently shadow the adolescent girl, the soft folds of her thin white dress billow around her frail frame as she kneels next to a tall bush covered in crimson fruit. She pushes cascades of chestnut curls out of her eyes to survey the gray garden. Unaware of her onlooker, she grasps a single piece of fruit, pulling it from the leafy branch. Peeling back the rind, she reveals the treasure hidden inside, dozens of ruby seeds. Taking one, she presses the fruit against her lips, savoring the sweet juice as it crawls across her tongue, breaking her sworn fast. Ascalaphus, the only witness to her simple enjoyment, watches silently as she hungrily consumes six seeds. As the sound of wing’d sandals wafts through the air, the pomegranate falls from her lily-white hand. |
