Went for a haircut, forgot to say “a trim”
Nearly got scalped, ticked me off to the brim
Kids yelled wahoo
Big rocks I threw
Next time I'll tear 'em apart limb by limb
It's been said, divorce is Latin for “scalped”
To rip out a man's genitals through his ass
Sounds about right
In the morning light
When all's said and done, it's really god's wrath
HOLLOW EVE
scalped with precision
pressure and scooping of pulp —
wax burns inside skull
brains and seeds sodden
the black and white newspaper —
picking bits to eat
the orange crater
carried and placed on the porch —
cold and scary dark
flame flicker-licks wounds —
rounded eyes and crooked smile
mock the midnight hour

The cowboys always won
The Indians always lost
I yearned to see a cowboy
with an arrow through his chest
But then I read a story 'bout
a cowboy who'd been scalped
Promised to myself, I said
Now I'd see a red man dead
Put on two toy store holsters
Courage blazing from their guns
Bagged me the bony remnants
Of a graveyard skeleton
Blood-curdling Scene ~
Happy Halloween!
