" The Day After Halloween "

In the darkness of the day to come
Shines a golden light
Beyond the Day of the Dead
The next day there comes a knight
The first day of the celebration
Halloween's ghoulishness
Followed the very next morn
By the arrival
Of "All Saint's Day"
November first
The day my mother
Bore her very first child
And the day that God
Bestowed upon me
An everlasting
Smile........
