Carrion Conundrum

1
COM
The old, abandon house
A weather-aged timepiece
Settled upon my eye's periphery.

Leaves dressed in ceremony
Sounded the night with attitude
Beneath a hallowed moon.

Curiosity stepped me closer,
Closer still,
To the front porch
Where I saw a large, engraved stone.

Wearing cold night air
On chill bumped arms
I wrapped myself in Halloween fear.

My trembled hand
Approached the red-eyed
Jack-o-lantern until
It rested upon the upraised lid.

Three crows surged
With flight and stalling stare
Into afterlife's oblivion.
