Listen to poem:

Heated Breath

heated Breath   
David J Walker 

In the beginning 
	I knew nothing  
The end will be the same

Bourn of a single drop of water 
	heated by the breath of God
Odd the
mix of mire 

Refined in fire
And I am Adam lying in the grass
missing a rib

A woman named Eve mentions
Honeymoon options in Mexico

The next I know
The boys are arguing… again

Who is in charge of this scene 
It can’t be the snake….
