So Endokin
was tamed through a
skilled harlot named Shazah
who emerged from a Babylonian
Temple in the city and went out onto the
wild mountainside and made love with him
for seven days and nights in a cave among
the sheep and Endokin who
was more animal than man
felt soft perfumed skin for
the first time against his own rough hide
and tasted sweet fruits and refined sugars
from the Babylonian city he followed Shazah back
between the dry deserted canyons
back to the gardened walls of the city
where the bustling heat of
strangers set him on edge
and it was only her gentle humming in his ear
that stopped him from striking out back to the windy
mountainside among the dusty goats and scrub.
