On the seventh day

By Richard Mather


On the seventh day God came down,

dug earth deep and wide, buried Adam

in the belly of the planet.


From his grave came flowers and fruit trees,

valleys and hills, rivers and seas, fish, lizards,

birds, mammals, humans – lots and lots of humans.


Seven million years later Adam awoke

from a nightmare of holocausts,

rape rooms, train wrecks, the rape of Eve.


But being stuck in the

belly of the world he could nothing

but grind his jaw and weep for eternity to end.
