Silent Halloween

On that night, we had a silent halloween
There were no knocks on any door
Or gourds clumsily chiseled aside walkways

On that darkest night, fear was our lord
We refused to set foot outside
Like in the old tales of Samhain

When on that night, the veil thinned
And we would adorn masks of old spirits
But now every day is Halloween

And we don't even get candy
