Adam’s loins were mountains,

His rod a branchless pine;

Creation in his surging blood

Stung like the ocean brine.


The valleys rocked and trembled

To thunder of his frown,

He turned the rivers from their beds

And tore the mountains down.


He crumbled boulders in his hands

With grunt and wrench and heave,

His blood was fire along his veins—

He laid his hands on Eve.


Her breasts were domes of ivory,

Her legs were round and firm,

Her womb was such as might receive

Even such as Adam’s spurm.


Her hips were wide as mountains,

Her bosom white and deep,

And Adam felt a million years

Breaking from unborn sleep.


His fingers brushed her rosy cheeks

And touched her mystic eyes

And sought the fragrant forest of

The hair between her thighs.


He laid her on the green sward,

Her supple legs he spread;

The valley of the Euphrates

Was all of Adam’s bed.


The trees shook down their green leaves

Like rains of emerald coins;

The whole earth rocked and trembled to

The surging of his loins.


His rod was like an earthquake

That found her pulsing womb,

Above her like an avalanche

She felt his buttocks loom.


Oh, Adam was a giant,

Ah, Adam was a man!

Go out and view the fools today

Who boast his name and clan.
