Halloween

yellow triangles hover like aches, ignes fatui in the gaze of charmed squash as children giggle, guised as old scratch, zeus, hobgoblins, wraiths — rabbits and wolves, pookas and pucks, refugees from sarcophagi — reapers, angels, rakehells, sylphs who cackle as they skip, juggling snickers and groans while the wind knifes through barrow leaves, lofts them like clouds of derelict spiders; and the moon lubricates her black-cat eye with a cloudy witch-cape rush.
