27 Mar HALLOWEEN
We all wear masks for one day
Hidden behind false facades openly
Wait for dusk, explore hallowed ground anew
Sheets of white cut from racist pasts
Monsters walk freely among children
Decapitated pumpkins burning
Jack splattered across cool cement
poor begging for a bite to eat
stranger offering unknown treat
Sweaty eyeholes peer through
Shadowed darker thoughts
Up at the witching hour
Then down again…waiting
another year to pass
