Sangre y Miel

Soporific hum:
honeybee catch
_____clover.  Immolating day

reddens to dusk.
Samhain, All Hallows.
_____Boys frighten

__________it appears
more easily than girls.
_____Curl like a fetus on the couch,

old man.  Giggles, shrieks, shouts:
_____do you hear them
__________down the block?

When will one of those voices be your child
returned?  Sack of sweets in one hand,
the other clutching the sitter's shirt...
