A Feast For the Bride

Moonshine hues in a powerful projection 
peep in to light the lovers’ cavern with profusion.

Her tibias go weak; on the stone table, displayed 
were wooden large bowls full and neatly arrayed.

Her colon constricts and she retains a gas, about to leak,
as she wants very much to look a bride, composed and meek.

A graceful raise of clavicles and a sexy push of the pelvic girdle
masked her gluttonous stare which clearly is to tolerate no hurdle.

She sniffs cautiously as her bridegroom leads her to her chair;
delicious soup of small intestines and roasted gall bladders for two to share. 

A huge portion he serves her with exaggerated tenderness
“This for you, a first humble meal, my beautiful beloved ogress…” 


Tibias, colon (large intestine), clavicles, pelvic girdle,small intestines, gall bladders.
