To speak of Inannas resting place
where was she before?
For in Vajrana did she dwell
there is a reason
they made no meat near it -
for thirsty, thirsty
then for her hunger to sate.
To make offerings and guard
the locks and wards.
But then for a love story far away
the ancient tongue
was spoken; in wrath was it
uttered into the void
it remained there for years.
Then for a rumour, a whisper
she had noticed it.
Into the tomb the priests looked
but she was not there,
for she had heard him from afar,
their lips turned blue
their eyes - "tell none of this!"
"There is a demon in the palace
but it is not here anymore!" |
