Dark Things
I like the dark things, Halloween things,
Gleeful grins and voodoo queens;
Tarot decks and green moonbeams.
I like the pansy, fearful face and back,
Growling up at me from the bushpack
Poison mushroom-caps, magick brick-a-brack.
I like the room beneath the Tree
Cauldrons and witches, three by three-
I like the unseen, silly world
That just might bite a careless girl.

"Shall I give you a kiss?" Peter asked and, jerking an acorn button off his coat, solemnly presented it to her.
