Summary:
My Halloween poem from last year. It's my favorite time o' the year and it's always gone too fast. So I try to celebrate 'til February lol. Have fun, enjoy, and stay outta trouble...and watch some goddamn horror movies!!

 

 

 

Half a brain on morning swill,
purging shine ’til ticking clock-
angry stave at fateful dawn
nights that wrench in nerve & bile…
 
piecework prize of chill & sigh
 
damn a soul with dusky brush,
stinging blaze a jackleg grace-
rack-rent sty on warbling mind
days of ice & empty wile…
 
feckless flight feels full & high
 
feague the way in grey retrace,
sharpened stick for sport or point-
share the void with bug or sign
eidolon by rote or mile…
 
restless plight of hill & sky
 
fugue state fall for molten grave,
throng of face for numbing pride-
take a lead with gist & frown
bleed a taste of kill & smile…
 
thumb a lace of dial & scry
 
strain a thought to nightly fill,
tripping reigns ’til race & slake-
reckless wrath at fateful dawn
days of dreck in rank & file
 
waiting gaze is naught to die,
 
strigoi shine of mindful eye.
