'Blue shadows on the trail' can not defeat
The beauty of her day or days on any daunting steed
Whose back she graced, wind in her mane...

The Halloween Party was in full swing
Witches, wizards and an alien thing
with tentacles and one huge eye
Flourishing a laser gun shouting "Die".

Were all dressed as feline kittens "meow"

I warned you,
but you wouldn’t listen.

I warned you about the magic
of golem and djinn,
about lilac walks

unexceptional princesses,
all fodder for the worst sort...

Across this fractured waste
With each cycle of the earth, 
The Joker in repose 
The Tower in flame 
The Enchantress a blaze 
Death does not make the change
Fortune is crucified on his...

in this darkness...

In England where everyone knows your name

What light in yonder forest falls
(sorry shake, had to get a start)
Sunrays beckoning night should befall,
Not wanting to leave but fight it off
Sinks into the waiting ground, 
Being engulfed without a sound.

But i do not think the mortality was greater than  in Mexico
