#dress-up
Hallowe'en night's here!
The kids go out in costume,
Dressed up as Muslims.

Halloween, what a very strange time,
Kids dressing up like monsters I see in my mind.
Real monsters, though, don't have horns or fangs,
They just have the ability to cause painful pangs.
They know how to break your heart, and then throw it away,
And they never give you the time of day.
Let the children dress up as fictional things,
Real life monsters don't have scales, claws, or wings.
Guard their innocence; let them dress up,
And pray they'll never meet a real monster close-up.

when I'm high
off the scents of
October night air
and smokey burnt wood
on your shirt
I'll dress up for you,
all satin
and buttons
and lace.
when I'm drunk
from one too many
Gin & Tonics
with purple-spotted moons
stamped under my eyes
and the apples of my cheeks
stained with paths
of saltwater
I'll dress down for you,
all freckles
and scars
and skin.
