          ghastly wisps of fortunes past
                    moonlight from the dead...

Cool poem, Charlie. I love Halloween time ... still have a diabetic sweet tooth for it's youthful exuberance. Kids are so happy this time of the year, especially w/Christmas coming around the corner. Sweet senryu. Love and peace, bro.
