Treats for the Specter


by Alexis Faulkner

ghost is chasing me
I jump in a bush real quick
Hide and go seek, freak

by Chris Alarie

help help help a ghost
know what
no what
help help help a ghost

where is a skull
where is your skeleton
no not the one you are
but the one you have
where is it

somebody found
a body in the creek
behind the church
on the courthouse steps
a long black veil
a sleepy hollow
a good god damn story
a spooky fucking ghost

by Douglas Slayton

when the weather changes

the children become unruly

when the sun sets
they have their weight in sweets

when they get to my door
they are in for a treat

when the headline reads
"thirty missing."
