Bible in Haiku, Genesis 2

Dust plus breath of life
(God's creative equation):
a living being.

Garden of Eden
two trees, four rivers, one rule.
Earth-creature tends it.

Alone is no good.
Adam names the animals
but finds no partner.

At last, flesh from flesh
and bone from bone she is born:
true companionship.
