What Night is This?

The goobbledegook of eyes that look  to scare the pants off  an unsuspecting stare.   The torn muscles that drip blood  onto ghastly clothes. The teeth  that bites flesh, the mashing sound  can be heard from all around.  The darkness of the sky  darker than yesterday. The crackling  sound of leaves underneath  apprehensive feet. The sound of rats  chewing on wood.  The howling of animals moaning a lost.  The moon as big as a supersize cream pie.  The wind blown out of the mouth  of a tunnel spirit.  The cold of a day in the refrigerator  set on 30 degrees.  The smell of wet pine and oak,  burnt popcorn, and car exhaust fumes.  I want to know what night is this  hallow night that was weaned from day?
