On the road to Elba
During
this confused night he tried to sight the beautiful goddess Inanna who normally
shone brightly in the sky.
" Inin, to morrow when I will be praying in your residence, I will call
you Ishtar.
I know it's necessary to call you such, but in my heart you will always be Inanna.
Inanna is as soft as a mother's bosom.
Ishtar is as brilliant and as violent as the weapons of the Gods.
Inin, Is it a double identity of love ?
Inin, I'm lost in these identities. Inanna, I am worried
I wrote Num Gugu on the tablets.
And if it comes around that I have made a mistake ?
If it wasn't Num Gugu ?
Inanna, will I know one day which one of them stole love from me when he stole
my formula?
I
am worried.
I would pray
The tablet is now in Ningursag's stomach who creates genies
If ever one day the writings on that tablet reappeared as being a message from
the Earth ?
Would it then be a great muse of writing?
Inanna, what will bring me the signs of recognition ?
A
dream ? writings ? bibbous ?
And even if I get these messages, how can I be sure to interpret them correctly
?
Oh ! bibbou ! Inin ! Bibbou !
Inin I've just seen the fast star that has traveled across the enclosure of
the sky.
Oh! my beautiful goddess Inin, you're making tears come to my eyes! You're making
me cry with joy."
