“Ishtar cried out…
Six days and seven nights the wind
shrieked, the stormflood rolled
through the land. On the seventh
day of its coming the stormflood
broke from the battle…
The word sea grew quiet, the storm
was still; the Flood stopped.
All of humanity was turned to clay.
I crouched, sitting, and wept.
My tears flowed over my cheeks.
Gods, let me not forget this…”
