Nebuchadnezzar summoned you there,
Robed in yellow and blue,
Anathema of Canaanites and angel
Wings on your back.
You shoved a knee between her thig

Out of nowhere
Godly silence
Out of nowhere—
the poet renounces
the noiseless god song—

They arrayed you in funeral attire
And dragged you from crag to crag,
Transported you by zephyr -
Impregnated and exposed -
Half-hideous, half-beautified
