What really happened to the ancient gods
Who lived so deeply once in the souls
Of the strange people of Susa and Ur
Inanna and sweet Tammuz and Erishkigal
Finally forced to flee in every direction
Does a god not get to grow up
Swimming out further into a starry sea
To float back as a Venus or a Mary
Strolling the shores of Galilee
Hearing the voice of a Christ
The first of many Christs to follow
In his footsteps like sweet Tammuz
Who abandoned his temples and rites
Thrown out to the wolves
To live on in the fields and the breeze
