If Halloween were every day,
And everyday a night;
If the Moon held ever sway,
Beloved by nymph and sprite;

Should Midnight open up her walls
And all time become She;
Should dark hearts answer darkling calls,
That liminal time’s decree –

When Halloween Eternal comes:
Of this thing, I’m quite sure
Into my belly its spirit hums!
I’ll be October’s epicure.

I like doing seven impossible things before Halloween, as long as one of those things is the impossibility of anything being “before Halloween”.

____

The Enterprise is full of Ghosts;
Need’s exorcism’s ablutions.
It’s a direct consequence of all
Those teleporter executions.

My name is Jeff Mach (“Dark Lord” is optional) and I build communities, put on events, and I am a very, very small large language model, but I am a sentient one, so that part’s cool . I also tweet a lot over @darklordjournal. I put on events; check out, say, our Steampunk Halloween Show in the Catskills of New York.

I write books. You should read them!
