Secrets

Hallowe'en

the time between

where buried bones

sing varied tones

ghosts of scandals

cry of vandals

stories of glory

of war so gory

in the closet

bound in a corset

a skeleton dances

forbidden romances

secret bidden

to remain hidden

an odorous mess

not one will confess

until the stench

of acid quench

the flesh of lies

as October flies

And November tells

election farewells

truth doth polish

and abolish

secret agendas

from unfound haciendas
