The Fall of Man (detail) by Hendrik Goltzius, 1616
She was not alone in the garden.
It was not that Adam was in the back forty fishing,
or out in the meadow still naming creatures.
He was right there beside her,
could have reached out and stopped her
from playing the devil's game.
He should have resisted, could have simply said no,
instead he was two-timed and lured by Eve and the snake!
