“It is convenient for the old men to blame Eve. To insist we are damned because a country girl talked to the snake one afternoon long ago.

Because she was confused by happiness that first time anyone said she was beautiful. Nevertheless, she must be the issue, so people won’t notice that rocks and galaxies, mathematics and rust are also created in His image.” PeopleMenFirstsChildrenLongSaidCountryBeautifulGirlCitiesIssuesRocksFirst TimeMathematicsBlameConfusedThrownLakesOld ManAfternoonAbandonedLong AgoNeverthelessSnakesGalaxyConvenientOld WomanRustSomaliaCountry Girl Book:Collected Poems Source: Collected Poems
