When

When did eves heart
Start
To beat
When was the need
For the push and pull
Of empty and full
First seen

When did Adam first
Know
Not enough
Hunger
Hunter
Needing
To feed

When did I say
Yes
To this life
First breath on my own
Lungs
Burn
Until I let go
A wild cry
That triggers
My lungs
To breath in
Full

When
When
When did we know
The then and now
Of when

When did we learn
Beginning
And end

We explore
Our three-dimensional space
In body
Yet our mind
Tries
To traverse
The fourth
Dimension of time
And what follows
Is both
Torture
And sublime

What
Do we hope
To find

Turn back
To the apple tree
Sit
Try
To resist
The sweetness
Of apples
Untouched
Fallen
All around me

I am finite
Yes

But
Does that mean
I am destined
To horde
Hold
In
Hold off
Everyone
And every thing
So I can be
Free
From my need
Or
Is the freedom
In the wide
Messy
World
Of enough
For you
Enough for me
All my senses
Bring
Now
Will be
Enough
For me
Some
How
