Thursday Read Write Poem

Posted on 14:04, January 21st, 2010 by EKSwitaj

Read my latest story, "A Tale of Two Birthdays", at 52|250.

A Bauble to Inana

blame, blame his sword & broken dung
praise the education, the jaguar (sagging in the sacred hand)
cease to leave, raise your song, his sword & broken dung
have sacrificed the ground to ill, his sword & broken dung
have let loose the little seeds, their mud & songs that feed
so gives us words & money
we’ll write the laws & money money money
to write the laws & cause & damn & money money money
oh, we’ll endure through writing & build our tiki bars
and sing into our grave of his sword & broken dung
a bauble, bauble, Inana (to or from)

written in response to read write prompt 110: no, not literally — (trans)literally and using this poem
