The Story of Inanna
Inanna, Girl Child of the Moon God
Ye who Nurtured the Wandering Tree
Ye of the Throne and the Bed
Queen and Lover
Keen of Mind to Outwit the Drunken Lord of Wisdom
Ye who cultivated the Great Servant Ninshubur
Ye Beloved of the People
Queen of the Heaven of Morning
Queen of the Heaven of Evening
Queen of the Model City of the Fledgling Earth
Fresh Maiden for the Shepherd-King of Uruk
Great Wedding of Holy Lovers
Let the Rising Cedar Plow the Ripened Vulva of the Great Love Queen
Ye who were called over the Horizon to the Funeral of the Bull of Heaven
From the Great Above to the Great Below
Ye who were made naked of tools and garb and hung on the hook a corpse
No mercy or ease from your dark, mad, and grieving sister
To Take Away in Murky Silence is her Nature
Revived by the Wit of the Wise Lord of Eridu
Yet with a Dark and Dire Choice to Make
To Condemn Your Proud Mate
Oh How the Mourning Rained
And Behold his Noble Selfless Sister Saves the Kingdom’s Blessed Union
To Give in Offering is her Nature
May the Love of the Goddess and the King thrive
May the Queen keep the date harvest in great store
May we Celebrate Abundance and Joy and Victory and Marital Satisfaction
May Your Starry Rosette of Heaven Bloom Ever
May Kingdom and Land and Heaven be in Harmony
May You Continue to be the Just and Noble model for Queens
