“For example, the Sumerologist Jacobsen places the poem in which the young Inanna, still a maiden in puberty, asks a court musician to help⟳ her compose a poem to her vulva, in the middle of the cycle, at a point⟳ in time when she is recalling the early days when she first chose Dumuzi as her spouse; yet in the poem she is clearly inquiring who will become⟳ her lover, and so I place⟳ it as part of the beginning: a poem about the virginal Inanna in meditation on the mysteries of her own⟳ vulva.”
