The Ancient Modern
Of All The Living / Joshua Alan Sturgill
Love
requires a veil
Adam
sewed fig leaves
to hide his death
from angels’ eyes
Grief
is not for you to see
he said as he bore
love dying
out of Paradise
into arid places
where his arms
would be to weak to reach
for any comfort
and his mouth too dry
to receive any food
less than
God
