Every house is aflame
On this feast of Samhain...

Molly ran away as far as the police are concerned
Rebecca went to the shop and never returned...

Scratch and scrape
Pin pricks everywhere...

In the dark doth slither and claw
A hungry servant with open maw...

A spirit in darkness brightly shone
It’s gentle kindness given...

This is it
That moment...

Consciousness comes undone
Before the beating of his wings...

A painter of nudes
And Hollywood dudes...

I’m going to jump into the lake
I’m going to smile on the way down...
