HALLOWEEN POEMS
you gave me a kiss on Halloween
left your lips
and some
of your
fangs
behind
and stuff embedded
in my neck
and
formula for antidote
to all that killer venom
****
HEAVY
the page is heavy
increasing its gravity
pulling me in
as collapse it does
under its
own mass
smears me across
every word and
the spaces
between them
as
cosmic horror
goes tomato sauce
****
OR TREAT OR TRICK OR
NOT WHAT YOU EXPECT
Was assembling
this puzzle of a thing
that comes in
pieces and
with screws and
an unholy manual
which had
me dumbfounded until
you
left me
a message on the wall
materializing right
in front
of me
explaining how
through the magic of
Halloween
the dark expertise and
forbidden resources
will make it
a point of
necessity that
they out of nowhere appear
you knocked
at the door
foraging for sweets
you were so
kind to
help
providing a neat
solution as we
put our
heads together
realizing all
those missing pieces
and the fuel
to power
them
were about to present themselves
do their level best
