Good Mourning

I decided to give today’s #100DAYSOFHALLOWEENHAPPY a tiny spin.

I have changed #15 My Morning to My Mourning and in this post you will see some stunning Mourning Dresses.

On a body or on a mannequin, they are works of art.

I got tired of my co-workers asking if they could have some candy that I set out for Halloween so I stuck this sign on the cauldron:

Is that my face

in the bathroom mirror

are those my eyes looking at me

with cool, cruel indifference?

 

I reach out my hand, draw it back, extend  a finger

tap, tap, tap

Is anybody home?

Are those my teeth,

is that my hair

when did those lines around my mouth appear?

 

That can’t be me

wearing that listless, expressionless face

has it ever dreamed, schemed or plotted

 a murder or revenge?

 

Tap tap tap goes my finger

against the mirror

clouding it with the cold that escapes from my lungs

and clings to it like poison gas

on a battlefield

from Once Upon A Time.

 

That can’t be my face.

It’s just so

Human.

 

 

The 13th

#100DAYSOFHALLOWEENHAPPY #6 Happy Friday

What better way to get people into   the  Friday the 13th Spirit then to release a movie about Demonic Possesion on a date,  during a month when some people are in the mood to raise a little Hell and  there is a segment of the population is afraid they will be able to actually do it ?

Well played Hollywood, well played.
