I studied a perfect, ancient relief
From Sumeria,
Of the divine ones who from heaven came down.
One clasped an ankh before there was Egypt,
Another, a giant rod and staff.
A giant muscular demigod type
Offered a deer that he held out with his hands
To one even giant-er than he,
And it all looked mythical
And hard to believe
Until I noticed off to one side of the carving,
Sculpted in stone forever,
An angel type messenger regaled in wings
And picking his butt.
