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
