HAIKULLOWEEN


here come the cold clouds 

and the bleak night at death's door

carve eyes in the gourd


—————————


our hearts were heavy

there was a flicker of light

the rain is pouring 


—————————


tremors in the boards

as we walk up the staircase 

caked in dust and webs


—————————


the flames kept rising

consuming the legs and arms

melting the eyeballs


—————————


moans from the cellar

it is cold and damp and dark

and the door is locked


—————————


I am lying still

dreaming of flying away

from the grave’s dark soil 


—————————-


the cave bear attacks

lunges at my neck and face

and chops off my head 


—————————-


the dinner began

with the impalement of guests

followed by sweetbreads


—————————-
