Darkness
Darkness has descended
Eager to swallow the withering landscape whole
It had waited patiently
For months end
Skeletal arms swept in the cool evenings
Gripping the places sunlight couldn’t penetrate
The long nights
Lit by the glow of firefly eyes
Bonfires and hearth smoke
Promised mischief and magic
The veil thins
Magik is ushered in
The darkest of nights
The longest of night
Halloween
