Of all the creatures in the wood   One law is commonly understood   Deep in the heart of Fontainbleau   The marriage of a whore and Jew   The bride's true dowry black rocks   Equinox   The wedding is followed by gifts   Catherine de Medici lives   Silverfish quilting testicle   Despotic owl conducts the wolves   And mulls attacking a fox   Equinox   Equinox   Red birth mark   Equal light   Equal dark   North to south   Thoth with pen   Let us give praise and thanks, Amen   Celestial bodies transform to flesh   And commune with the wedding's guests   They twist and thrust and whine and grope   As if under a microscope   In hope to to catch small pox   Equinox
