Hear me read the poem as an MP3 file. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon |
Horror is a kind of
play, A need to undergo Life along the borderline, Lest death be just a name. On Halloween we dream away What wailing we well know, Enchanted by the danger sign Each savors up and down the spine, Near haunts that are no game. |
