So much is lost

in our English translations.

The hurt feelings and damaged souls of our generation,

Cloud our eyes to the poetics of our founding story.

For “Adam” was made from “Adamah”

That being, “Humanity” was made from “The dirt”.

Yet so far away.

I have been blessed

I do not feel safe in my own

Flesh. Sacrificed, ...
