Inanna

Surrounded,
In this smoky bar,
By the scepters
Lost in apathy
And ether and war,
My arms flattened
My whiskey far

When suddenly
Inanna appears
Immortal Inanna
White marvel Inanna
Inanna with the signs
Laid out in her hands
Sandals on her feet
Twigs on her forehead
Measuring tape in one hand,
A wide gold bell
Gripped by the other
Inanna with dark
Lapislazuri eyes

Inanna who dazzles me
Every time she walks in hell
