Ebony Reflections
ebony reflections shadow October’s great finale-
the eventide dusk sky is filled with
thick and obscure grey
fog
(swaddled in depth)
the moon is half aglow tonight;
shaded by an aria of somber clouds
swarming it with intensity;
black bats envelope the sky like
a midnight silhouette,
for all that is hallowed shall dwell in vain
below the Halloween moon,
children are pretending to be what
they are not
and
(probably never will be)
candy is passed and eaten,
a please and thank you given-
not knowing what lives beyond
the trees they breathe from
it has been said
the moon
holds
not a piece of iniquity,
but tonight-
I heard a resounding echo from a raven’s tune,
under the brilliance of the Halloween moon
