boo!

costumes and scary faces…

never mind

all those spaces

where fear ! settles in

amongst my 

thinkings, amidst toothy-grins!

for reasons unknown,

we enjoy

frightening our own

selves, our own friends

even neighbors

— gasp — I see no ends!

cheeks, packed with sweets,

cause

droopy eyelids to retreat

to snoozle, to slumber

all the while

far, far from sunder!

for evermore for always —

sits

on the other side of the door;

for evermore for always — 

drifts…

we love its unending allure…

All Hallow’s Eve

L.S. 2023

Hard to believe it’s nearly Halloween! I mean, retail has been celebrating since August lol! 

I’ve written quite a few things this month… different stuff… one on Edgar Allen Poe, another on Jean-Michel Basquiat, and this simple ditty ☝🏼 I thought I’d share… 

Photo is from our visit to the Witching Hours Night Market 🧛🏼‍♀️👻 this past Saturday in Vandergrift, and was taken outside of End of the Road Antiques – a very cool 4-story house with lots of treasures to be found… which is where I bought “Thing,” who currently sits on my piano. And then we stuffed our faces at Ianni’s Pizza… I’m still full. 🤭😜
