Anura by Enlil

 Enlil Resides
Dagan sits padded hands
Turned inward side by side
head upward in pride

Pride of the imperial pond
Croak from beyond
Power over the thin lush shore
Inside Enlil's sacred law

A strange creature resides
It's pupils from other dimensions
The eel fakes departure
Slippery lie

Out of sight from deep
The intentional killer
Explodes the sediment layer
Voracious Pike

Dagan invades their dreams
Haunts them in their lairs
The spirit growing in water
Becoming every creature's fear

Becoming the unnatural entity
Presiding over the life force pond
Tadpoles proliferate
Predators now gone
