POEM FOR HALLOWEEN

The Dead of Night
by Kevin Ansbro

After the taxidermist had shut up shop for the night,
the stuffed mammals came to life
and the birds each took flight.
An asthmatic bloodhound, something of a wheezer,
then howled at the taxidermist's wife
as she clambered from a freezer.

I wrote it on the spur of the moment two Halloweens ago, so it's a bit rudimentary.
