a pumpkin must be killed

Oh, the costumes they wear! 

Dorothy in Oz. 
Martha Stewart. 
Generic Hippie Chick. 
Mary Magdalene. 
Sylvia Plath. 

There is fraud afoot.

And upon the ledge I sit, 
uncut, unlit. 

I curse the eyes that I might see.  I dread the wicked grin. 

To make a jack-o-lantern, a pumpkin must be killed.
