The holiday of jokers

Catches me without anticipation

All Saint’s Eve

A festive participation

Masked little boys

Come running for candy

Laughing off

The eternal damnation

The night turns slate

Five o clock am

Wondering where

The hell you’ve been

The joker the dealer

Show up to the table

The healer in green

My memories’ fable

Facing me in the corner booth

Another smile to meet my own

Telling me, “baby come here”

Intending to take me home

Come into me as a love crush

My bed the only thing left going for us

So innocent in this act of sin

Resignations, no aspirations

In this lust filled room we’re in

A thousand dollars

All for planning his affair

The kids will have funds

Rain pours when you feel the pain

The rubber boots rested by the door

I didn’t know what to do with them

Staring to leak when I was nearly poor

I’ve always been confused

Unsure how to celebrate

A golden birthday

In my body’s estate

The importance of time

Like tide for the sea

This year I’ll work better

I have yet to see

Fall knits winters sweater

A lost memory

Driven by the city

Pack up from the beach

Let’s go to the country

The waves the other day

Were as teal as could be

How I wanted to leave them

Until the quarter of next year

The jump between stones

Leaves a lot to discover

This is my home

And I now have a lover

Confusion lies in

Understanding why

Loving you passionately 

To be left high and dry
