Dressing up for parties with fairies and trolls
Painting lips with glitter and eye lids with coal
Donning feather crowns of ivory and magnolia perfume
Waiting for a skeleton to blossom into her groom
Dancing ferocious steps and writhing arms in splendor
Trembling muscles ache but refuse to surrender
Surrounding breathless beasts, a hundred eyes grown wide
Watching a bantam girl unfold into a ravenous bride
