Scriptural Interpretation of Adam + Steve

…….
The mud of being just a man is where
We start from (mainly dust). God breathes his wet
Breath into holes. He turns to mire that pair
Of hairy nostrils swollen wide with jet
Propulsion of divinity sent down
To throat and lung and core. The ribs expand
But seem quite injured. There the chest is brown
Of bruise and wound. A central bony band
Has partly been removed without the man’s
Consent, the opposite of rape, instead
Of forcing hardness in. Poetic scans
Reveal that masculinity is wed
To loneliness, much worse than puffed up mud.
He wants a transplant (male) at heart, thud, thud.
