Genesis 2:22

Here....I....am!
Your missing part!

It is truly a miracle that you have found me
and that I was paying attention.
Some people never find their missing parts.

The way you hold me and tease me
and call me Little Bit, and say,
you need some meat on that bone,
makes me want to climb inside you,
to consume you,
the way I want you to consume me.

Hold me so close that I will be able to feel
where I belong.
Put me back where I belong.
Yes...yes...that's it.
Deep. Deeper.
There now. Don't you feel whole?

When Adam had sinned
and heard the voice of God in the Garden
call out: Adam, where art thou?
he went and hid, but then he heard
the voice of God approach his hiding place.
Adam, where art thou?
So he hid again, and again:
Adam, where art thou?
and he knew that there was no more hiding,
stepped out and said: Heeneni!
(Here am I), which we have been trying
not to say ever since, but know
that in the end, we must:
Heeneni!Heeneni!
I can no longer hide...

Darn. This is what worried me about posting my poem.

Darn. This is what worried me about posting my poem.

So sorry about that. Of course I recognized the source of your "Here am I" and that you were using it in a different context, but - hey! - when have you known me to refrain from indulging myself even if what I have to say is mal-apropos?

Interesting. Two different takes on a bit of scripture that in and of itself has been argued since the Bible surfaced. I have often tought myself that scripture may have more than one meaning... Good show, both.

Genesis 2:22

"Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man..."

It's just that my poem is not about religion, the thing you despise so much, but about love, the thing you love so much.

I really enjoyed this poem. Considering the religious allusions, the overall impression is quite erotic, especially towards the end, and the sense of obsessional love is quite overwhelming with the lines:


to consume you,
the way I want you to consume me.



Yes...yes...that's it.
Deep. Deeper.
There now. Don't you feel whole?

Yes, I enjoyed this very much.
