Magpie Tales Photo Prompt 30: Succulence of Life

Eve didn't care:
she hungered for
sweet succulence of life,
ignoring skin bespattered
with spots blacker than
ink on pages of
Vanity Fair.

    A beautiful weaving of theology and modernity, you words are profound, with a twist of the most delicious irony.

    "skin bespattered with spots blacker than ink" . . powerful. I like how you tied it to "Vanity Fair"
