wrap your big black bat wings around the trick-or-treat golly! lolly
and look inside the ancient amber sweet-on-a-stick
here's the grinning skeleton billy boy
dancing his morbid jiggle jig
his funny bone vibrating verily
his ghost 2012 warts away
whispering scraps of secrets to a whittled oak witch
who doesn't yet understand how to see with leaves
and the beautiful underbelly of the world grumbles
and the pumpkin seeds shiver
waiting to erupt orange faces
shouting of a once-common conscious community
and here's the black fat mat cat
7 years good luck per whisker
the owl says hoo are you
tonight, you almost understand
