Eden


   
 
          Out here
          We listen to crickets and frogs
          Not pure silence

          In there
          The child is restless
          Approached by the ape
          Whose wide mouth howls
          An accusation of horrible blame
          The child has seen this
          Visitor of dreams

          Out here the day’s humidity
          Has left us breathing rain
          And we feel close to soil and skin
          Inhabitants of earth
          And not like men

          In there the child emerges from a depth
          Clings to what remains
          Of teddy bear and Spiderman sheets
          Smelling of salt and sand
