crossing paths on Halloween
Goldilocks Troll and the Devil walked over a bridge on Halloween.
They met a sailor, a princess, a faerie, and an ugly witch’s queen.
None of them spoke, because they did not know each other.
Troll would have been surprised to learn faerie was his birth mother.
Halloween is a night for howling and prowling, mystical with mirth.
A time for October to light herself up, and enjoy Halloween’s earth.
It is appropriate that the troll and mother crossed paths that night.
Cosmos had predicted it, giving them both some psychic insight.
