Realization
Poem (audio)
Well, face it.
He’s not comin’
around anymore,
just like the kids
on Halloween
in these times.
Porchlight on,
all dolled up in an
elaborate, cutesy get-up
with high anticipation
and plenty of treats
but— nothing.
I don’t know.
Maybe…
I scared him away
somehow, as if I
were a monster to him—
But I was an angel.
