Halloween Night

by  Sandro D. Fossemò 

Translated by Luca Palantrani

The dead await in silence

the Hell's party! ...

The Midnight

follows thrilled,

in the city of dream.

The pumpkins flash

in the dark,

in cobwebs

and crystals of light.

My dear demonic night,

come to show

the cruel masks

of the soul! ...

The Cathedrals sleep

across old stones.

Orchestres of ghosts

dance in cemeteries.

Synthetic vampires

wander in towers

simulacra.

Dazzling ponds

lurk on the ground,

like mirrors

for skulls.

The shadow of the witch

roams furtively,

in the digital dark.

Full moon

is a charming bulb,

lit by devil!...

Skeletons lead

ducal coaches,

on roads cursed

by black cats.

Beloved night! ...

You who are magical,

you who are eternal,

enchant the automata,

under your mantle of stars...

Now or never more!
