In the spirit of Halloween…

Fog’s rolling in

those giants

brewing up trouble

potent potions bubble

over fires stoked with

bones and rubble



The air is thick

that smoke

slowly smothering

ethereal shapes suffering

over cries cut short

witches sputtering



In the midst of terror

awareness pins salvation

somewhere above the din



Escape from this nightmare

for those willing to try

garnered with simple electricity

to leave this place of duplicity

turn on the light and awaken

Simplicity
