Goblins and Ghouls

Gathering again 
of boys and girls and 
big kids too binding their fantasy
lives 
in funny costumes and
not so cute masks to
scare and trick

and maybe get a treat
needed for a sweet tooth.  But,
devilment  lurks today ...

glowing out other terrors  
held within 
ominous  x-rays that may take a woman
under real knives to 
live out the fears found in a
sentence of breast cancer.
