HALLOWEEN
 
-          What do the witches bring?

-          They bring frogs

-          Why frogs

-          Because as soon as you touch them they squeeze out of your hands with a squishing sound 
shinning all around- she said

-          Haha – went the child without hair, her chemiotherapy had done its job
 
Her grandfather, her father, crushed on his wheelchair, no word from his mouth for over three 
months  – his stroke had done its job.
 
Her heart bumping wildly in her chest  
 
(In the background: Her sister, bursting as a fat duck, dangled in chuckles
Her mother seized by her nightmares talked of death & ruin)             :
 
                                   the light in the room reflected their outlines like linked sequins in the glass 
                                   panels against les ténèbres that were gathering outside in their rising
                                   nocturnal choir, a silent swinging ___Baudelaire and Van Gogh___
                                                                                                                                                                                                  
 
Half a life and this was the show – she thought, tomorrow the witches would come to see 
the unneeded deed they had so finely gushed out.
