When I stepped into your bridal chamber
I was not one-but two
One completely wedded, one completely chaste.....
For the sake of your pleasure–
I had to kill that virgin
So I killed her–
These murders, legitimate by law
Only the humiliation of them illegitimate
I drank the poison of the humiliation.
Then the morning came–
And saw my hands all wet with blood.
I washed my hands–
Just the way I washed your musty man-smell from my body
But when I came before the mirror
There she was before me
The very one I’d murdered in the night
Oh! God!
Had the darkness of the bridal chamber been so dense?
Which one had I come to kill, which one had I killed......
