Behold this world of dust
Eve said first outside of Eden
That Life has sun’d.
Here I am, Banished Realm,
A palm in the bird of your hand…
A bird in the bird of your hand…
A bird in the pawn of your hand…
A hand in the bird of your bird…
Adam asked her what she meant.
Nothing. A game. I was inspired.
A way to laugh at the way the world ends.
Humanity’s First Song
