you glazed bricks blue
at Ishtar Gate,
deep seas where
lion, bull and dragon dwell
you are featured on
the gold funeral mask of Tut,
adorning his brow line
in deep eternal hues.
your name is summoned
several times
in the Epic of Gilgamesh,
the oldest known piece of literature
known to exist.
your mere
consonance
of L's
and slant
assonances:
eleven tongues licking all my holes.
