No pumpkins any
where, except for Wal-mart which
wants ten bucks a pop.
Wearing the mantle
of autumn. Cold starry nights
days of leaf-strewn gold.
An apple, as red
as it is crisp, awaits on
the blue floral plate.
Argued over what
candy to buy. She wanted
KitKats. Blow Pops won.
The new furnace kicks
on, and I rise to the warmth
like yeast bread baking.
Home sick, she lies in
bed, stomach queasy, still in
her day-before clothes.
Halloween spirit
eludes me, like the ghost of
someone I once loved.
Turn the clocks back next
week? I could use that extra
hour of sleep right now…
Decorations for
Halloween still not up. Life
seems scary enough.
