Halloween in Between

I have always poopooed Halloween Day but if you can't beat em join em. For the second time we have been invaded by a mass of winged beasts. This has to be a Halloween sign. I bought three packets of  chocolatey chews yesterday so we are all set. When the ghouls come a knockin we have something in the stockin.  As I type this, thunder and lightning are racking the van. The roof is being hammered with heavy driving rain, it is black outside and it is 8am.  I can see pools of water forming on previously parched grass.

Lying in Counterpane

Whether sleeping fine or lathered
Deep beneath the quilts are gathered

Stuff of skin and hair and other
So much of it nightmares smother

Dreaming of the beasts that smite us
All just there in sleep's detritus

Counterpane is a land of dread
Where sleep walkers never leave the bed

Very small but mighty motes
Living, breathing in our throats

So do not toss and stir with grievings
Sleep in peace with the body's leavings
