Man from man |&| beast from beast •
Each, with other, meet in moon lust •
Cernunnos |Zeuswise horny dodger|
Hides his form in ursine body & kisses
Amourwise-Adam w/ biblical “know” •
Twenty-eight nights of fur on back &
Glisten antlers glow |the unending|
Pulse of demigod creation • // • Horned
One |forest seducer| makes hide of all
But boney head ⅋ attracts w/ girth w/
Ancient roar w/ mat of body mane: he
Says, “to-be/I-am |in you| with me. Long
Tongue for supple throat, become my
Manwise concubine, & boy, bare me
Boys :: ∝ :: nymphs furred & scaled &
Hoofed & holy ≡ beasts shall inherit
The forest!” • & rightwiselike, as god is
Want to be, loin/lion of AmourAdam —
Forest Walker |John the Bear| = Herculine
Hero, forever bound in return, to the cave
Where is fathers met. ♂
