The Fall

I

A blue sea

Shimmering in subdued light

Pulling up a tide

In the sailor's heart

To leave the earth and his hearth

And be afloat

On buoyant waves

That when weary

Throw off his weight

Like of the great Titanic

Into the comatose

Grave of the sea.

  II

 Out of Adam’s rib

Did He make Eve

To love and live

As Two-in-One.

 

Adam looked at Eve

And Eve at Adam

No coyness, no shame

Transpired between the two

But a silent feeling

Of Oneness in He

Who hath made them

Opposite complementarities.

 

The Fall robbed all

Man of his Manhood

Woman of her Womanhood

Together they toil now

As throbbing engines

In a sweltering summer day.

 

O! Where is the man and where the woman

That would redeem these labeled cinematic pictures

Perhaps in the pages of Lawrence

Daily transfixed in academic disputations!
