Fog-Swallowed Lanes
The porch lights flicker, one by one,
As costumed shapes go running on.
A ghost, a witch, a fox so small,
Their laughter drifting through the hall.
Then fog rolls in like breathless sighs,
And swallows up their bright disguise.
The lanterns dim, the cobbles fade,
And none can tell which path they've made.
I call their names into the gray,
But echoes answer, far away.
The pumpkin grins with candle light,
As I stand lost in autumn's night.
Yet somewhere, past the silver wall,
A witch's cackle rises tall.
And though the lanes have hid them well,
I know the fog will someday tell.
Porch-Light Vigil
The jack-o'-lantern flickers low,
its carved grin wavering in the breeze,
while shadows stretch along the path
and rustle through the autumn trees.
A candle sputters, pale and bright,
then dips to amber, then to red,
as though the pumpkin draws a breath
and whispers secrets to the dead.
No footsteps yet, no laughter near,
just crickets humming, thin and sly,
and every gust that brushes the door
makes the painted eyes glance sideways by.
Wind-Blown Sweetness
Beneath the streetlamp's flickering glow,
the candy wrappers dance and roll,
they skitter past the porch and gate,
the cold wind rushing, swift and great.
A plastic crinkle, foil that gleams,
like scattered shards of fading dreams,
they tumble down the empty lane,
where costumed footsteps came and wane.
The jack-o'-lantern gutters low,
its carved grin fading, pale as snow,
and still the wind, with restless hand,
sweeps sugar's ghosts across the land.
