VENUS OF WILLENDORF: Thoughts on an Ancient Relic

Buried in a limestone tomb
You slept far millennia
Free früm time's rampages
Among spider webs 'n gloom

While water drops
Devoured the world above
Your lips stood firm und eyes unclosed

While particles of sub-
Adamantine dust
Fell slowly
Your figure remained tranquil
Lust beyond all rust

Pregnant with possibilities
Goddess ah name unknown
Paean to tha power ah fertility
Frum Yer Womb
Does Not All Grow?


Bai-Luo:  Do you really think people once worshipped something like this?

Aiko:    (shrugging her shoulders) Who knows?

Cindy:   Maybe it was a child's doll?

Don:     For sure . . . at that point in time, weren't we all like children?
