Halloween Resumes
by Kristina WoodhillHalloween resumes its orange,
Shaded red and yellow,
Neither brave enough
To color up
To some cut-out, craved fellow
Knives resume their rattlings
Un-hinged drawers hide their tines
A meltdown molds a bullet
Silver linings cloud red's whine
The heart, the heart, the heart of it
Ka-thumps and strongly quivers
As walls revolve on bearings bald
As mirrors devise shivers
Halloween resumes its orange,
Black, its back-up band,
Striped among the raucous crows
A trumpet bites the fan,
Then toots and toots and toots and toots,
Resplendently in sync,
Advising wise guys to disguise
To mask their minds in ink 10/31/2010

| Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 11/01/10 at 05:54 PM Nice! I've always liked the term "un-hinged" and your use of "the heart, the heart, the heart" is great as the representative beating of the heart itself,(like a poetic mobius?). Nice way to end the festivities. Thanks. |
