Incongruity

onewed.com

There was a psychopath
lurking in the church,
and in no time,
he was marrying her daughter.
While the pastor beamed,
the prayer group laid on hands
and beseeched God
that there would be
a miracle.

The gaslight gleamed.
Shadows flickered on the wall.
The guests were gaily dressed,
but uneasy.
There were songs of love and joy,
- they were a handsome girl and boy -
but her mother felt
peculiarly queasy.
