These murders, legitimate by lawOnly 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 Id 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......
