pumpkins lie
strewn around in lots
bright orange
some rotting
the weather surrounding them
time for Halloween

nothing that’s inside
meant to hide
all our flaws
this keeps the real you hidden
applies to us all

fall brings cold
weather is changing
day by day
night by night
always unpredictable
always waiting to see

disrupted
stroke takes your being
life may stop
may go on
have no control, wreaks damage
unpredictable

miss the warmth
as fall progresses
darker skies
far less sun
parents lighting fires at nigh
banishing the shadows

my birthday
nineteen fifty-six
screaming loud
painful birth
very emotional still
mental health screwed up

ghosts, ghouls eek
witches flying low
running kids
eerie sounds
parents comforting their kids
new shrieks of laughter
