I live in Halloween

I live in Halloween
With thanks to Ntozake Shange

I live in Halloween
Is this where you live
I live here in Haunted Haven
I live on Witch Street
My friend lives on Ghoul Avenue
Do you live here in Haunted Haven
Jack- o- lanterns
Light round me like rain on other
folks
Zombies bite my body
Hungry like the vampire for blood
Horrifying like the werewolves I hear in my dreams
Thinking they was dogs howling at the full moon
I got skeletons in my closet where other people
Got clothes & appetite for candy corn and werewolf treats
I walk through haunted houses like somebody
Else/ be walking through the mall
I live in Halloween
Live in it
Believe in it
I cd even visualize it
Wear makeup on my face
Makeup
Smears so fulla spirit
Ya cd make a jack- o- lantern where yr heart
Is &
Light yrself
Light yrself in Halloween
