When Adam and
Eve reminisce
about bliss –
about when
they knew grace –
and the place
they’d been
told
they’d defaced
it with sin --
they take off
their clothes again,
attempting to
recollect when
arrant nakedness
was all they wore
–
not the bore
it had cooled
to since then.
Though sometimes
they’re not
quite as numb
as they’d
been
since the
fall: a flicker
enthralls --
comes to stir,
as it were,
the cold bowl
of the soul
and the
flesh.
But nothing
feels fresh.
What had they
done to beget
this? Reminisce
about bliss
in the nude
though they may,
it doesn’t
help tell them
what God
meant to say.
Now all He
seems
is rude.
