Bereishit
bereishit hay’ta cavar ahava, and she shouldered the name nothingness and chaos curved upon herself, a disordered end-beginning-end without שמים to hold her and אדמה to ground her and אדם וחוה to make her home.
it wasn’t just the humans G-d banished that day, and with every step further from גן עדן she felt herself revert to chaos--could not remember, as she wrapped her arms desperately round Cain and still held him as his arm rose and fell, what it had been like those first and few days. how it had felt to be both in order, and at home.
