Fantail feathers, of a hazy, 'yellow-orangish-moon'… Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Lantern Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Lantern Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Lantern Skeleton-scythes, thorny-stars, swaying in the swoon, Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Lantern Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Lantern Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Lantern Fire-pits and witches brew and cauldron’s smoking tricks? Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Lantern Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Lantern Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Lantern Little dwarves and wolves and serpents crawling; leftover people bits, Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Lantern Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Lantern Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Lantern Trumpets hailing arrival, of Pale Rider, can you hear his tune? Fantail feathers strain the sight of harvest-yellow moon, Skeletons, fire-pits, witches, cauldrons and Old Nix, Animals of evil’s calling, tricker-treaters; Hallow’s Eve and ****** grit! Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Lantern Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Lantern Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Lantern Pray to Sáeta, Satá, Saturn… Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Lantern Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Lantern Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Jack-O’ Lantern*

Children's poem. "Sa/Sae," was the root word in Sumerian for black. Saturn in fact is, "Sah,"-Sumerian "Tournos," -Greek which means the, " turning/rotating black." Anything found in the night time sky became associated with the god of this blackness; The Black God. Constellations became part of his narrative each one being an aspect of his nature or part of his attire or weaponry or something he first created. Even the eyes of/in his wings. Jack O Lanterns are used to ward off his legion of evil spirits.
