Poems About Adam, Eve, Lucifer, Eden and the FallPoems about Adam, Eve, Lucifer
Eden
by Michael R. Burch
Then earth was heaven too, a perfect garden.
Apples burgeoned and shone, unplucked on sagging boughs.
What, then, would the children eat?
Fruit indecently sweet,
redolent as incense, with a tempting aroma...
Outcasts

there is no course,
one must simply go with the flow

a kind of deactivation, fuzzy borderline hanging,
backing the art...

Choices and VoicesChoices my dear one,
So many choices,
So few voices,
Some near,
Some far,
Some to fear.
A path.
Clear and chosen.
The erasure of a closing.
The logos of math.
The trajectory of wrath.
The conciliatory legislation blindly ruling the cosmos of...

To the black rhythms of juju music from the radio;
Drinking horn in hand.

acidic anger

Emerging toward viral hate
directed against entitled Others
unwelcomed emoting immigrants
encroaching on our safe home space
