"both male and female created He them"
if we are to read Genesis aright
the surgery was not a trifling hem
Adom Kadmon had been hermaphrodite
symmetrically, like splitting Night from Day
first Man was cleft from the nave to the chaps
not just a rib that one might throw away
a thousand sutures wouldn't close this gap
and so he leaves birth-home and clasps a wife
reconstituting primordial state
the beast with two backs completes in this life
what had been lacking 'til he found a mate
libido's just the call of what had been
a path to knowledge rather than to sin
