Continuing with excerpts from The Song ov Elmallahz Kumming.
 So Elmallah, a messenger from higher worlds, descends to Ertha.  Boy meets girl.  Bouk 1 is their first night together.  But remember, we’re not talking human time here.  Below is the beginning of Bouk 2, and Elmallah is reeling from two new experiences: sex and death...
 
...Befor owr ferst nite had ended
 And Sol had reternd with its glowwer
 Tu owr eyz, and its seer
 Tu dry up owr remaning pashen;
 Befor my deziyer had bin sated,
 Deziyer ov wun hu wuz nevver with wouman,
 Ov wun hu had nevver felt the fors ov owr Lor
 Shudder like a snake devowering an owlet,
 Like an owlet being devowerd;
 Ov wun hu had nevver befor seen deth.
 
 Befor I had seen the endz ov my luv
 And the fewcher chaenjez that I wuz impregnen,
 I left Erthaz pallas
 Tu pray tu owr Lor
 And wen I reternd she wuz gon.
 
 No!
 I wil not sing ov separaten.
 No, not ov sorro eether!
 Let me tel yu how I luvd her,
 Tel yu how it wuz between us.
 In this way, perhaps, I kan sho yu
 Wy it wuz I kame here....
