A
day like any other
like
every other
begins
in
joy, ends
in
nakedness
we
hid
we
blamed
who
told us were
were
naked
to
become gods we
learned
nakedness
banished
to the east
to
the east where
the
light is harsher

Wow. Nice.

Hopefully not many days progress like this but sometimes the pattern repeats and apples are eaten. Forgiveness and grace is our only hope.
