Halloween 4: The New Nightmare

When all is said and done, there's only one thing to fear, right? Losing everything and everyone. In other words, death. It turns out to be not really scary, not really sad. It's just somewhat lonely and bittersweet —like the last day of October.




I Do Not Know Myself
Hugh Seidman

I do not know myself
I go to dark and am of dark


Ignorant of myself


I sleep and dream--
But not enlightened


Nor when I wake
And remember dream


All I have not seen
All I will not see again


That I will take to ignorant dark


Desire is unchanged
Year on year it is on


Each page to turn
Each face to love


If I loved
Till the end of the world


It would never be done


Once I was a son
Once I had all the time in the world


Now a day starts
Now it ends
Now a window is dark
