I hate to go above you,
Because’Mthe brown eyes lower fell—

Have forty years been growing.”

“When he bit
that bud of her lower lip,
she started,
shook a finger,
arched her brow,
and hissed,
“Leave me alone, you fool,”
her eyes narrowing into slits.
Whoever kisses
such a haughty woman
wins the drink of immortality.
Those idiot gods
churned the ocean
for nothing.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
