From the bowels of space came a roar
like a million lionesses; the chasms &
caverns of dark space quaking w/ its echos;
Inanna had awakened; the oldest living goddess
in all of existence, born of the sky itself &
an earthly father whose frame was shrouded
in dark clouds; the first man whom Medusa
had unwittingly seduced, producing the first
divorce between Inanna's celestial parents,
dividing the cosmic family for all time; Inanna
wanted revenge for the ancient wrong wrongly
thought wrought by the adolescent snake-haired
charmer; "Bring me the head of Medusa!"
the ancient goddess wails; Medusa having
inherited the universal throne as the most
beautiful goddess of them all, beating out
the fiercest competitors from throughout all time
