The 24th

I am on a hunt

For a missing rib

I counted all

And found only 23

What happened to the 24^th?

Is that the reason I feel incomplete?

Don’t get me wrong

O! My ever present 23

You do play your role

So perfectly

I sometimes forget the 24^th

But deep within

My cage shouts

Completion!

So I continue my hunt

Only to be stopped by its Maker with a question

Did you hunt for the 23?

I responded in the negative

Why then do you search for the 24^th?

Just close your eyes and sleep in Me

For only then would you find the 24^th

If you don’t believe

Ask your fore father Adam.

And when I give you the 24^th

You will repeat his words

“Finally! Bone of my bone,
flesh of my flesh!
Name her Woman
for she was made from Man.”

Only that you shall

Name your own
