Ellen’s Hymn to Inanna

She gave me the kick of speeding

She gave me the trick of lovemaking

She gave me the kissing of the phallos

She gave me the holy tavern

And the sacred fermented grain beverage

She gave me the immolation of the weed

She gave me the art of sisters’ harmony

She gave me the mantel of the elder

She gave me the play of the heroine

She gave me the story of power

She gave me bic fire in the darkness

She gave me the rejoicing of the heart

She gave me the sundress and the nightgown

She brought the placing of the garment

On the ground

She brought the allure of Heaven

She brought the art of women

Hail Inanna!

Queen of Heaven and Earth!
