Dark Bride 

You’ve got bridal dreams 

Homemade dress faultless seams

This day is made for you it seems 

Caught a glance behind the bridal screen

At the one who bridled me 

Her leg upon a chair lifting garters past her knee

Pictures on the bridal green 

Look so neat they’re whistling

Fried green tomatoes at the whistle stop

Whistling stops when the bride veil drops 

O the mouths that show their shocks

Every beauty heightened in that frock

But what they saw then marriage mocked

Priest near dropped, altar against which he’s propped

A prop in a play the devil bought

Guests I brought fought to get out

You an orphan without guest clout

You have wet blood around your whole mouth

Like you bit a calf in half, couldn’t wait another hour

When you have to go you go

Her go is cannibalism, so it goes

In pleasure’s throes

Hot blood in strings hangs off her nose

Therapy for the wedding goers

No crowd for bouquet throwers.
