Halfway

The crows have dominion
over this crepuscular day.
The sun behind the clouds
can't overpower the gray.

Bare branches in the window 

wave outside the room.

It seems that this old tree

has forever ceased to bloom.

It's the night of the new moon.

Light a candle for Selene,

for the dusk will bring Walpurgis Night.

We're halfway to Halloween. - Jeff Barnes
