missing now,
this night
ghoul in mask or
made up,
character, creature,
hero or villain
all hailed, all
rewarded,
to my house and
handed candy,
their scare a
lie or wink
on world's stage
tonight,
waning fall new
in my home,
my handful, then they
away
across and down
yon dead end street,
his house not dark
tonight but
lit like
visiting carnival,
and they an
ardent, careful flow
one way,
my unworthy
thought
of all amiss, I
dismiss
then provide
more sweets,
watch the little
vampire
scurry to the
unknown house
an open maw
a hurried end.
where do they
go?
