EDEN


EDEN






HE'D OFTEN REMEMBER

WITH SUDDEN SHAME

HOW HE TRIED TO BLAME HER

HE COULDN'T REMEMBER

THE SENSE OF LOSS AND ANGER THAT HE FELT

THE YEARS HAD DIMMED THAT MEMORY TO FORGETTING

THE EMPTINESS WAS FILLED WITH BUSY-NESS

WITH CHILDREN

WITH CONSUMING CARE AND DRAINING FEARS

WITH PEAKS AND VALLEYS OF JOY AND SADNESS JOY

WITH EACH OTHER

WITH LIFE

BUT ADAM COULDN'T REMEMBER LOSS

FOR WHERE EVE WAS

WAS EDEN
