The October Moon
a midnight surf
wet, wild and cold -
the October moon
wolf’s fiery eyes
a blood red -
howls to be fed
at the mercy of
the pike -
scarecrow in the corn
sable kitten
opens one sleepy eye -
they’re afraid of him?
purrs peacefully
in his black silk coat -
laps at moon’s milk
the homeless gourds
in shadowed patch -
wait to be sold
cut, scooped, top lobbed off
a fiery flame -
angry with pain
school kids bob -
sink their teeth into surface
of apples
red flesh, white moon
sweaters and coats
hayride and bonfire
