Crowning Of Ishtar

Crowning Of Ishtar

The cute housewife in the long yellow dress
peers through gauze curtains at the vast abyss
that gapes with hunger from her aching heart
so she waves to the birds chirping in trees,
and, after consulting the cosmic chart,
she concludes this strange quest will be a breeze.

Stepping to the sidewalk in sunlight glow,
she crosses frail bridge over gushing flow
of ethereal plasma that forms the stream
which fractures the mirror of time and space
hiding the lake of fire where lost souls scream
till she arrives safely at the blank place.

Touching the apple tree that knows her breath,
the cute housewife smiles politely at Death,
then follows seven black cats with curled tails
that run spiraling patterns through dim maze,
to walk past ruined churches in cool dales
where she leaves behind masks of each new phase.

Climbing thirty steps up high ziggurat,
the cute housewife navigates complex plot
through the chessboard of the company game,
maneuvering through each office she attains
while hiding behind secret of her name
and chanting arcane spells in Summer rains.

Competing for position of Queen Ishtar,
she plots the future around Central Star,
sings Creation of Earth from beams of light,
records new names on the Tablet of Fate,
judges hard cases between wrong and right,
and teaches everyone to love not hate.

Standing with contestants in Hall of Gods,
she is crowned Ishtar while the crowd applauds,
bows her head to wear the gold crown of jewels,
parades in new robes to Chamber of Love,
then blesses her nation of sacred souls
while chanting prayers to pure spirits above.

The cute housewife in the long jeweled gown
gazes from heaven at the sprawling town
where thousands of people sing hymns of praise
when she is crowned their new Goddess of Life
while she wears new mask for this divine phase
to steer her nation well through storms of strife.

Enthroned before elders in ring of eyes,
the cute housewife, who rules the starry skies,
gazes at world model on temple floor
and listens to generals with second sight
who discuss strategies to win the war,
then commands they execute plans to fight.
