"Ishtar, where am I?
Facing towards the black eyes.
Was my name carved on rocks from Uruk?
Was an obelisk built?
Was a hanging garden constructed?
Did my lips leave the myth of love upon you?
Did they leave a trace?
A thousand years ago,
Did I know of Tamouz, or the March rains?
Did I build Ur’s stairway?
Did you forget
That I am just human,
And not a God."
