The History of Passion

A despondent Man,
Eve and apple,
Unadorned and shy
And the Adam Man
Bequeaths a tidal flow
Of desire and shame
To the next man and the next
All shaped and appled forever
With the snake wrapped around their waists.

Apple adorned Eve
With figs and honey
From His garden
And words of shame, desire
Sequestered, embowered, nesting.
It is not good that the Man should be alone
But have the flesh of his flesh, the bone.
"Where are you?" The Lord God called!
"In the shadow of the valley of death!"
Answered Adam!
