on this Halloween









I bother you
I’m scaring you
fear trembles down your spine

howl
wormwood apple leaf
nettle the ghost of me
our evil’s past locked up airtight

lure
our Celtic knot
in a circle of stone
the hilltop fires all ablazen

drink
stings of heated rum
roar of your primal soul
sage steel and dark bitter ales

dream
insomnia’s sheets
reflex of a reptile brain
iron black wet hemlock wind


fall
into my open arms
a spirit scry in golden brass
animals scream from the trees

on this Halloween
