The very breath of Lanturnacht
does he breathe.
The national colours of Lanturnacht
does he bear.
A secret candy trove
he hides.
A plushie does he offer
for one and fifty treats.
Perched on his head
a possessed hat.
A hypnotizing monocle
balanced by his eye.
Three bone white skulls
precariously dangling.
Once a year
does he come.
Trick or treat?
Jasper.
His candy trove
where does it go?
It is the time of Lanturnacht
not the time of questions.
Trick or
treat.
Jasper or
candy.
