brochure on eden
July 23, 2018
Down wound ways and cold grey
Concrete meant for footsteps
Of man with ice seeped in bone
Torpid passion who lines lungs
Rattles joints at an inhale.
An orchard ripe as the moon
Drapes her milky gossamer on streets
Littered with their scatter
Of rusted tongue and crescent indent
Burrows in breathless regret.
What you want
is not here.

The Garden of Eden is a perfect, unattainable world ripe with harmony and happiness. As humans, we are all constantly in the search of our own little "Edens," whether it be by doing something or being with someone we love. This poem is an exploration--a brief preview, a brochure of sorts--of what one's search for one's own Garden of Eden might look like.
