Halloween Poetry for 2014

So I didn't upload any Halloween poetry this year during the appropriate time. Here it is in spooky mid-November instead:

The Thrasher-Slasher

It's a sowing machine of knives
An in-and-out pattern of taking life
Each of the 36 stabs a stitch
But stitches won't fix these slices
Rhythm / pull
Rhythm / pull
In and pull
In and pull
A red tapestry eternally unsown
Fleshy fabric punctured
Skickity-skack
In and then back
A sweatshop of tears, blood, and water
A workshop of rhythmic slaughter

Before the Aftercare

Chains and whips will fix
Ropes pulled tight and quick
Slavery / satisfaction / security / safety
Pleasure and pain mixed with empathy
On display / skin exposed / spanked red
Then kissed ever so sweetly

Bleached & Refined

A little ghost flits
on Halloween night
between the porch lights

Candy held tightly in her fists

The trick is that the treats
though sweet
will someday make her flight less quick

When insulin‎ is low
and the memory of thinness distant

The haunting and taunting
of the sugarcane spirit
beckons sweetly in the night

End.
