Do you know what my favorite part of carving pumpkins on Halloween is?
The knives.
Of course.
Halloween 2018
Halloween Whispers
Nothing says Halloween
like the sound of a knife
plunging into a pumpkin
and
the smell of it’s scorched flesh
when the candle
inside of it
burns too low.

There Was A Bite In The Air
I was out taking pictures of my dog- you know, me and Hamish will never be Instagram stars but who cares? Anyway, I was out taking pictures of him and he wasn’t into it so I just clicked a few off and let it go.
It was a great fall day and we had better things to do.
Later I was going over the half dozen pictures I took when I remembered the biggest issue I had is that he wouldn’t look at me.
I went back and found this one, which is the one that sort of summed up all of them.
My normally good natured and somewhat goofy dog was looking up and over my shoulder.
In every single onehe looked deadly serious- it’s in his eyes.
I wonder what he was looking at on that first day the leaves started to die and fall from the trees and there was a bite in the air.

Let Us Prey
The thing about saying grace is that anyone can say them-anyone.
I’ve learned prayers
to protect me from the dead
to chase away evil
to forgive my sins.
I’ve said grace
over meals
before journeys
before I fall asleep.
I sang those prayers
raged those prayers
obediently
past gritted teeth
through my darkness
every single day.
So who will stand over me
after I’ve died
and ask that I sleep
forever
God let it be
forever
will they prey that I do not rise
and that I never walk again.
