The Single Hound


THE SOUL that has a Guest, Doth seldom go abroad, 
Diviner Crowd at home Obliterate the need, 
And courtesy forbid A Host’s departure, 
when Upon Himself be visiting
The Emperor of Men!
Emily Dickinson (1830–86)

On All Hallows’ eve!


The Dark one placed a spell on Jack, castigating him to endlessly drift at night throughout the land.  The only light he carried  was a small candle contained inside a swollen turnip.

Allhallow-even


c.1745, Scottish shortening of Allhallow-even "Eve of All Saints, last night of the month of October" (1556 1/2), the last concluding night of the year in the antiquated Celtic calendar, where it was
Old Year's Night, a night for sorcerers.

On the wet window.



Creative fire has a distinctive measure
Casting light to find the eye inside the vest
But simple etchings are not for pleasure
Above the pattern there is a better way!

Hallow Fourth

The world of Halloween is a lovely and benighted place. The sky is orange, the tea is violet, and a new tragedy opens with every costume. Witches, ghouls, fiends, and mobs of rabid vampire-eating bunnies-- just when it seems like things can't get any spookier-they do. Some say that one's reward on october 31st is based on the spirit of the hallow throughout the year. If so, there may be hope yet.

October 1st

...Unknown spears,
Suddenly hurtle before my dream-awakened eyes,
And then the clash of fallen horsemen and the cries.

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)

Slowly making my way to the Javits Convention Center.
