Soulmates

(Nothing happens that is not common to man, as this poem suggests.)


awakens and is shocked to see the womb is empty
only he remains...scrambles around...afraid...alone...stark terror
my innocence...where has it gone?...where has it gone?
runs to the man in the garden..."what...gone," he says
he looks around...where is his mudpie?...where is his mate?
where did she go?...he runs around the garden
digging through the floor of the garden...screaming now...into the sky
the animals are nervous...the serpent grins....he rushes to the water
the tides do ebb...not even a trace of her there
angels shrugging...demons giggling
he tries to fly, but the wind refuses to fill his wings
he tries to swim but sinks to the bottom...no buoyancy...no flow
he rushes to the forest but the trees are all naked
and they are ashamed..."liars" he accuses..."liars all"
Aliars," the trees echo in unison..."liars," the haystacks wail
running fast as he can up the mountain
but can not reach the top...the faster he runs...the farther down he regresses
till soon there is no mountain at all......just a valley....perpetual...eternal
falling into a pit...crawling around and around...looking for a way out
so afraid, so familiar, so alone...deep, deep pit...nobody has ever been so deep
he digs for a foothold...something for which he can steady himself
looks on the wall of the pit...there...carved into the wall
ADAM WAS HERE
