A treat

Trick
or treat?

Well,
I don’t know any tricks
Would you accept a treat?

Yes

Hmm
I wasn’t expecting anyone to come
this far into the woods tonight
I don’t have any candy

Something else will do

Hmm
How old are you?

Twenty-three

And what are you dressed up as?

Love

Nice costume

Nice pumpkin
May I come inside?

Yes, come in
Let’s see what we can find

It’s dark in here

The night is meant to be dark

Pretty candle

I offer you stillness
Would you like to sit
in silence?

Okay

And so in the dark on the Eve of All Hallows they sat
quietly in the stillness
for a while

And when a cool breeze flowed
in through a window,
a colony of bats descended
onto a large olive tree,
while crickets and frogs sang of love

And what are you dressed up as?

Nothing

And I am Love

We share a long border

A very soft border

Let’s remove the barrier
that is keeping us apart

The two beings then took off their costumes,
slipped out of their roles
and simply were
for a while
