The Gods Remember (draft)

Lost wonders of the ages
Lie smoldered into embers—
The naked breasts of Isis
Baal-pteor still remembers.

When Time has left his turret
These memories shall last—
Astarte’s dimpled shoulders
The ivory thighs of Bast.

Tyre’s towers lie in ruins,
And Babel’s shrines are rotten—
Where are the kings that worshipped?
The Ruler has forgotten.

He dreams of strange eyed mermaids
He kissed by nameless seas—
The times he lay in pleasure
Between Mylitta’s knees.)
