OO OO OO OO THIS IS HALLOWEEN

i am a witch

sitting by my lonesome

in a dark empty home

awaiting trick or treaters

noah, the grim reaper

has gone with friends

rick 

is tuned in to the

first jazz basketball game

with a #7 take out from

china wok

my cackle

is as real as it gets

sore throat

chocolate covered

lozenges

burning chest

oh the flu season

yet

the weather is an absolutely

bewitching

72 degrees

and costumes are not covered by coats

8:00 pm and i am out of candy
trick or treaters are sparse
so i turn out the lights
and wait for noah
enthusiastically
he bursts through the door
with two big sacks
of candy
thank goodness noah shares
a little too much candy and excitement
for me

OO OO OO OO THIS IS

HALLOWEEN
