"Adem and Eve" fuses the rib, attraction, dying and beginning, scripture, species, lost intimacy, friends and family, and the plea to be made a queen.

The corrected transcript makes the handwritten revisions important rather than incidental. MOREOVER sharpens the social turn from watched intimacy to family, while Before the/Caring turns the final plea into a more explicit threshold before care or dependence.

Titled 'Adem and Eve' (source spelling), an Eve-voiced origin poem that runs creation through loss. 'You know that place, the rib' / 'Mine to be more attractive than his' claims the body's making, then 'your dying one is the beginning / of both of the Bible's' folds death back into Genesis as 'a shout in the unuverse' and 'the transcendance / of that particular lung lost to us.' The social turn is sharpened by a handwritten 'MOREOVER' over a struck word, and the loose, grief-struck close - 'I don't know anybody anymore,' 'Help is a bow gracious without hand,' 'Make me as a queen now' - reads as identity coming apart. The handwritten insertions 'Before the' and 'Caring' remain provisional placements, since the transcript notes handwriting ambiguity on this page.
