Eve Before the Cosmos

Still the unrepentant tongue. They claim creation was loud, but don’t mention the sweet silence of her becoming. Her inky shadow unraveling and peaking and staining galaxies with the light and dark of being long before God claimed them. Our universe had its genesis at eventide. Her chef-d’œuvre. And so, the cosmos did not begin with a bang, but with a woman and a habit made of stars.
