Eden
Thirty years ago
many choices
opportunities
for Eden
Mine failed;
sexually:
push, pull
stop, pop
thrice
no words of love
by mutual agreement –
vacuum unfilled –
a violation of natural law;
Mine field
sensually,
wet, dry
non-stop,
no words of love
avoid disagreement –
desires unfilled –
a case of unnatural law;
No choice to leave
no time to grieve
The quake shook
wave took
my world
missing words
refilled my empty heart with hope
progeny propelled
their orbits sown
their choices
challenging social law;
I look through space
unseen face
recaptures
what I lost
thirty years ago
new opportunity
now
for Eden
