DESCENDED FROM GODS
Text by Enheduanna (23rd Century BCE) - Sumerian High-Priestess, and history's first known poet.
From 'The Exaltation of Inana (Inana B)':
139-143. Since it was full, too full for me, great exalted lady, I have recited this song for you. May a singer repeat to you at noon that which was recited to you at dead of night: "Because of your captive spouse, because of your captive child, your rage is increased, your heart unassuaged."
139. im-ma-si im-ma-dirig-ga-ta nin UN-gal ma-ra-dug
140. nij ji u-na ma-ra-an-dug-ga-am
141. gala-e an-bar-ka cu hu-mu-ra-ab-gi-gi
142. dam dab-ba-za-ke-ec dumu dab-ba-za-ke-ec
143. ib-ba-zu ib-gu-ul cag-zu nu-te-en-te-en
Strange James sings in Sumerian.

HETEROTOPIAS
by )-(u||!c|<
rumbling 4 wheels driven
slit it
from my crouching
spine in dragon flown high
upturn wrists
sun-shot helix staircased Escher
in Alzheimer’s rusting
salutation
heron foot
the risen knee
rupturing forth
this bleeping bottomless ATM
that propositions to give
but invisibly only ever sucks
spewed laptops
from his cobra mouth (encrusted) lips
(in RCA sockets)
ladders
rip skyward
through arrowed-in-time elbow bones
grown through skin
as posed lions in garland
the city sleeps uncomfortably
with paraphernalia herniating
myriad fissures
from her organs that slide
and birth new hooks

JAMES HULLICK Melbourne, Australia
From the outside looking in, James Hullick's creativity seems boundless, manifesting sound worlds from inventive machines,
art music, rock, electronics, acoustic instrumention, found objects, the human voice, sonic ensembles and the uncanny mergings of these things.
“Hullick is a social critic. He holds his people and the world of sound up to a mirror” (Reutlingen Press, Germany.)
