 Axis II |
|
I came upon a wedding that old families had contrived; Bethlehem the bridegroom, Babylon the bride. Great babylon was naked, oh she stood there trembling for me, And bethlehem inflamed us both Like the shy one at some orgy. And when we fell together all our flesh was like a veil That i had to draw aside to see The serpent eat its tail. |
