Here's one I workshopped here and also posted on Art Museum:

Echoing Eden
(on Fred Tomaselli’s “Untitled” 2000)

Transparent, scarlet veins exposed, they’re dwarfed
by stippled sky that shines with images
of lips and hands, of eyes and eye-like leaves,
of perfect butterflies and blooming daisies
merged with modern psychotropic pills—
a foretaste of man's fate? Expelled, the pair
depart His garden, bowed and sick at heart,
poisoned by the fruit that tempted them
to know both good and evil, and they do.
They step into a marijuana patch,
the borderland between what was and is—
elegiac, this artwork intimates
an herbal Eden echoing a gleam
of what they lost, the glory and the dream.
