Old Testament
Adam
Primordial — the first man, lived 930 years
The first man, formed of the dust. Named the animals, ate the fruit, watched his firstborn kill his second. Father of Cain, Abel, and Seth.
On their voice
Primordial, agrarian. Speaks of soil, breath, the cool of the day. Carries the long memory of the garden, the shame, and the cursed ground.
