Half moon high
In a deep navy sky
The clouds like spider cotton
Blue ivory husks
Umber grey claws / webs
The deepening dusk
In the navy sky
The streets a flood a river of orbs
Armada of effulgence / suns
Headlights
Streaming pass
Crisp neon plaza shores
Cartoon sharp signage
Accessorizing concrete
Floors
The evening is dressed fine eyes smyzing
Shadows floating to be forgotten
While down the road
Neighborhood way
Skitters Liliput creatures
In shells of costumes
As squeals of laughter festoons
Live tintinnabulation
Like rattlers against the dark
As they Scurry cross dim / spatial street
In demand of what is given
From each and every door
Treat and sweets
All their tricks cached in grins
Of teeth.
All Hallows' Eve
Hallowed be the glee
Even tho' beneathe
The web of grey
Life is precious / breathing
Fear forgotten with dismay
We should live in celebration
Childlike everyday
Our wonder
As rattlers against the dark
behind the masks of face
In our eyes there is
The spark
That lights all life
From wastes of
Hollow wind
Chilling cries bleeding
Undead the unseen
From this cirque city
All done up in bright disguise
Happy Halloween
Death as one with life...
