< candy in late october >
they answer doors
the dead behind these doors
and offer candy
candy for our sacks
our bulging bags
the dead will never come to us
and so we go to them
they stand
this open door and that
these fields of houses with their candy
late october fields of candy filled
with frozen dead
these fields of mailbox epitaphs
that name the few who can be named
they answer doors
the dead behind these doors
and offer us their candy
