Description
HELL-O-WEEN
Their costumes portent lives to come: sweet girls
With fairy wings delighting daddies … hints
Of future tense when Face Books will delude
Flat bosoms into fantasies. They too
Are Miss Americas just strutting for
Some spotlight moment in a teen-age-crotch.
And mama’s boys? Heroic Supermen
With marvel Masks and plastic guns all pumped
For “Treats or dirty Tricks” rehearsing for
Arenas with real blood. But now the shrieks
And cosmic cries are yet pretense because
Our dark night children still believe they will
Be saved by Hershey bars and jelly beans.
For God’s sake, let the giggles last! Our true
Life screams come soon enough in mortal pain.
All Souls … the holy day we sanctify
To chance a miracle that we, who are
Unnumbered grains of sand, may all be swept
Away but somehow still remembered in
The callous oceans of indifferent time.
For me, I choose the pagan HALLOWEEN.
It celebrates a harvest; not our hell.

I'll take the harvest as well, having had enough of the other already. Excellent writing.
