i thought we had it all then
you and i
thought that we could live on love
and a prayer
against all aughts
a kind of (r)evolutionary oddity
but two shall not live in-
bread alone
neither is
mere mutation
two by two's
salvation
individuation of species
a kind of
di-
vorcification of p
a thing
our progenitors
learned too
soon
for even in Eden
there were the birds and there were the
bees and
what the father save the spirit
that moved across the restless sea
and where old Dionysus
bereft the graces three
faith and hope and
clarity
these three
spirit, soul em-bodied
and free
oh there were others
outside the garden then
ones with eyes to
see
the mark of Cain
the children of Seth's wisdom and
their bane
for God in her wisdom
placed
mighty Uriel of flaming sword
a guard against the
nephilim within
lest
prematurely
they secure
the secret of that Other
tree
for even Noah's deluge
could not
defeat the sacred purpose
it was ordained
but by every word and
now
the time has
come
to force the gates of Eden
to embrace that
greater
family tree
the serpent she spoke
hide the flame of
Eden in your heart
my love tis
all the light now
did you not
know
that two must yield
to three, yea four-fold
in-sight
ere the night has
come
bear with me
this sacred folly
the fruit of thy
womb
denounce that final
idolatry
embrace the darkness
from whence
the light we
see
