i wonder what
it was like for eve
to have adam
first bite into her garden
so deep that she
was left breathless
and felt
that he hit her rib

sex excess

even in eden
there is d

this is genesis 2
requiring recreation
between born bodies
and oceans that crawl
out with legs
and the darkness inside
that will one day
see light
that is good
what should we
name it

i sometimes pray
that god is up there
pretending to be me
for he is made in my
image
and often
i feel like hell

when adam was formed
i imagine he asked god
if this was what it meant to be
and god said
asking is to be
and adam responded
after looking around
at a tiger alongside a lamb
with its tail around the throat
like a scarf
which he didn’t quite know yet
but would learn
through shearing and knitting
and cold bareness
that he wasn’t sure
if that was right
