The Headless Host upon a Horse
He rests in an old abandoned graveyard but
Every Halloween he rises.
At the strike of midnight, his
Dozens of bats appear
Like an entourage.
Everyone in town knows not to leave their house.
Some warn the travellers,
Some do not.
He rides on a decaying horse
On dirty cobblestone roads.
Remember to be aware, that
Should he get too close, he will take your head.
Executioner,
Masquerading as a man,
And as hard to run from as
Nothing seen before.
