One of the Seven Plots

One of the Seven Plots

A Poem by Steven Fleissner
"

I'm on a quest for the archetypes, trying to find our connection.

"

Gilgamesh

Walls built high

Claiming vestal brides

Mended when befriended

 

Enkidu

She laid by his side

A woman's gift

will the savage lift

 

Friendship from fight

Cedar Beast

Ishtar's pique

Heaven's Bull

Death's disunion

 

Gilgamesh

lesson learned

home returned

two-thirds god

by his city awed

 

Voyage to Return
