Close to Hallow's Eve

Time for scary stories,
  and silly costumes,
   each merely a glimmer of what has come before.

Mere reflections,
  maybe a glimmer,
   toned down versions of the horrors of the past.

For a month,
  I get to draw you in by the fire,
   leaving you feeding wood to the coals,
     only to keep the light close.

So many stories,
   and so little wood.
