Halloween Promenade

The dance was a misguided tour Masks and dresses Halloween Themed promenade of sexes Dark and dimly lighted We invaded the wilderness Beneath the hallowed moon The wolves howling in the distance Not one of us fearing their brutality For assured that our costumes And our numbers would keep The creatures of the night away One, two, three, one, two ,three Living and shadows alike Moved in unison in the thicket A masterpiece in the making Bestowing the puppetry of our Dance to delight in the invisible Strings for which the moon Pulled us serendipitously Like a haunted ghostly mirage
