Twentieth-Century Adam and Eve

A POEM

By Gwendolyn C. Carr | November 1983

As aliens yearn

For the native land.

We still return

To the garden —

Taste ancient fruit,

Graft seasoned sins

Onto new generations.

For all we love to know

He gives us signs

A Stage Exists Someplace

When players voices no longer ring,

A set becomes a shabby…

Parting Word

“If I do not go —
the Spirit will not come.”
