Boo! Right. Time for our Halloween party, several days before the day proper, but whatever, Halloween can be a week long holiday. Party starts around 7pm Saturday, and we’ll put out food for snacking, then the Bummers will play spooky songs while Jessyca sings at 8pm, and a scary good time will be had by all, including the ghosts. Especially the ghosts. So, no food specials for sale this weekend, they will back next week with specials for the Day of the Dead.
“The Ghost”
Like angels with wild beast’s eyes
I shall return to your bedroom
And silently glide toward you
With the shadows of the night;
And, dark beauty, I shall give you
Kisses cold as the moon
And the caresses of a snake
That crawls around a grave.
When the livid morning comes,
You’ll find my place empty,
And it will be cold there till night.
I wish to hold sway over
Your life and youth by fear,
As others do by tenderness.
–C. Baudelaire, tr. Willam Aggeler
