Notes About The Poem

- Halloween Night -

The wind is strong, blowing west 
                                   ___     ghost night     ___ 
                                   Shadows of greedy beasts,
                                     as leaves deep footprints
                                              in wet soil
                                          No decay process
                                          ... a spooky script

                                    Darkness is their kingdom,
                                          with foul-smelling
                                            toothless gums
                                            ... they see you
                                    even though the gaze is stiff

                                          "an eye for an eye
                                             tooth for tooth "
                                   the coffin lid was never sealed
                                           with wooden plugs

                                   ... the gates of hell are opened

Victor Buhagiar October 29, 2021 at 1:37 AM I can relate with this. Yesterday I had a Covid booster and it was painful. Spent the night hearing the heavy rain and debating if I needed a painkiller. Lovely poem.
