• The Fairy Host on Halloween Night Aug 13, 2025

  

  On Halloween the old road remembers older feet. The Fairy Host rides with a sound like wind at keyholes and leaves like coins shaken in a purse. You do not bar the door against them; you do not fling it wide. You set a candle and sweep the threshold and leave a bit of bread and a clean cup of water on the step, and then you keep your mouth and your manners.
