                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
