beautiful rib

naked at adam’s side
eve is
mother of all the living
not born;
she’s formed by her Father
yet flesh
of husband’s flesh
and bone
of human bone
woman!


Another “WaltMarie” name poem… inspired by our pastor’s “Lenten Bones” series.

    Lynn, I love how you captured the connection between Eve and Adam so powerfully. The flow of your words feels really meaningful, especially with that final line!

    Much love,

    David

    Resumes exactly why men are chasing women: they want their rib back.
