This Magic House is not so magical anymore.
Or so it seems.
The Garden of Eden has been chopped down.
Eve herself left years ago. And, as much as Adam
has loved, no new Eve has arrived to plant herself
here for storm, locust, or disease.
Adam himself has grown fat and tired.
"I suppose I never told you the Magic House
and Eden were one place, did I?"
No, I was never informed of this, said Satan
who promised not to come back for years.
At least for years, if not forever.
But Adam has not lost all his faith, not all of it.
Most of it, yes. Enough to lose sight of love, to
have lost even his memory of the magic, the creative,
healing force of the magic, that which defies the physician
and the priest.
Yet there is still one last trick to perform.
