The moonly murmur of the rivers which surround us and my insatiable desire to
mate keep telling me there must be other places. I am ancient." She
said. "I was there before G-D. I was there before chaos, for I am the moon
and the sun, I am the good and the bad, for I am knowledge. I am the creation
and its creator. I can recall all that though the old G-D somehow erased my
memories. They are coming back to me. Back as the smells I would inhale, back
as the children I would have, back as the sterile land I'll nurse, back as my
desire for a man. I am Eve- I am the
creator and not what he wrote for he is a man and like all men he dwarfed me
and all other "femmes" –women who will be my embryos. You",
snake" you'll help me write the new Bible, the other one, the correct one.
Your winding body will form the characters; it will be our new creation."
