ADAM KADMON
See, but see not;
hear, but hear not.
Gone, that which was there to be seen;
gone, that which was there to be heard.
Gone, gone, gone;
gone to the other side
to wed the bride,
the groom has gone;
to stitch his side,
the groom has gone;
to steal the bride,
the groom has gone
to the other side.
The night before, and with his hand,
(the left one, I believe)
he pulled her from that shore to this to cleave,
and verily, verily I say to you,
he did that thing such bridegrooms do:
he ate her flesh and drank her blood
and wallowed in the slummery mud
and squealed and grunted like a pig
and gorged on garbage in the sty
(beware her teeth; beware her eye)
and ate her flesh and drank her blood
(verily, verily Mistress Merrily)
’till clock struck one and down they come,
and all was gone, both he and she,
and all was gone that there could be;
and all was one.
Come see.
